Originally revealed back in April (https://www.destructoid.com/apogee-shows-off-crafting-adventure-vexlands-for-2024/), Apogee Entertainment and Emberheart Games' Vexlands is here for everyone to try. The release window is still penciled in for sometime in early 2024, but now a new demo offers a taste of adventure. Despite the fact that this one has curses, monsters, and other threats, there are plenty of opportunities to relax throughout. Check out some of the open-world crafting in action in the new trailer below.

Vexlands is billed as a "cozy crafting adventure," but you'd be forgiven for not seeing much of that in the preview. Developer Emberheart Games is looking to strike a balance between cozy and perilous with this one. Sure, you could strike out in an attempt to explore the land and hunt for resources. You could also take some time to rest and relax in your ever-expanding homestead. Decorate your place, tame wild animals, fish, and farm if that's more to your liking.

Are you a cozy enough dude to cleanse the land?

When you're done chilling, there's still going to be a world to save and tiles to unlock. Vexlands features procedurally generated environments with dynamic weather, and each area can unveil something either helpful or harmful. You might find artifacts hinting at the past, or precious resources for trading or crafting. Or you might run into some nasty enemies or a sudden strike of lightning. You can roll the dice yourself with the demo, which is live on PC via Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2184280/Vexlands/) and Epic Games Store (https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/vexlands-vexlands-demo-74939a). Vexlands will also be available on GOG when it launches.
