Developed by Chibig, Summer in Mara centers around a young girl named Koa on an ocean adventure. Travel from island to island, farming and crafting tools while meeting new friends along the way.

To coincide with the prologue’s launch, developer Chibig has announced that Summer in Mara will hit full release on June 16 on Steam and Nintendo Switch.

Summer in Mara combines farming sim mechanics with adventure gameplay. Players will manage their own island, farming and gathering resources they need to survive. They can then set sail to one of the several nearby islands to explore and find quests and treasure. “Character development is a huge focus for the team, and this is reflected in the care put into the friends met, and the anecdotes of their travels.”
