Most of us have grown up reading or watching The Hobbit series. Did any of you imagine being one? Let’s say you’re a halfling living the good life in a cosy, peaceful village. Sounds a bit dreamy, I must say. Now this dream has been turned into a virtual reality. I’m talking about a game, Halfling Dale, by Wysiwyg Wizards that’s now out on Android.
In the game, you find yourself in a typical Tolkienesque community. It’s where your biggest worries usually involve what’s for dinner. But with your family’s reputation on the line due to your brother running off with a dwarf after stealing the Dale’s precious heirloom.
So, yes, life gave you lemons. Now, you’ll need to navigate the ups and downs of halfling life. You’ll be taking care of a variety of tasks, from baking contests and warming hands by the fire to dancing at the Spring Fair and watching fireworks. You get three Halfling Dale festivals packed with events.
Halfling Dale lets you customize your characters to fit your halfling fantasy. Become whatever you want: the hardworking and honest type, a jolly mischief-maker, a bold and straightforward halfling or a sensible guy. You can even pick from eight different professions, hobbies and attitudes to shape your character.
Life in the Dale is all about choices. Deal with your sneaky cousin, decide where to get mushrooms from or save the fireworks display. The Dale is bustling with potential friendships and love interests. You’ll meet tons of interesting characters here, like Benny, Wilibald Fairburrow, Mayor Goldworthy and Patty.
If you’re looking for a cosy, narrative-driven choose-your-own-adventure, Halfling Dale is a solid bet. It offers 28 different and unique endings and 10 potential routes. Its charm lies in its storytelling, which has elements of family, community, aspiration, friendship, love and adventures.
Halfling Dale offers the first chapter for free, so you can try it out before unlocking the entire story. So, get the game from the Google Play Store.
