We've seen a lot of Ghibli-like indie games this year, but this might be the most faithful one yet.
Vivarium, which recently debuted during the Wholesome Snack showcase, is a retro anime-inspired adventure game that I can't stop thinking about. As soon as I saw the trailer for this one, I immediately thought of Studio Ghibli's Kiki Delivery Service or My Neighbor Totoro - mostly due to the game's small-town feel and character designs.
We don't know much about this upcoming indie yet, as this is its first trailer and it doesn't quite have a Steam page yet. What we do know, though, is that a New York-based TV animator is working on it and will focus on life inside of a mysterious terrarium, which can be found in a decrepit home in rural America.
In terms of gameplay, it looks like Vivarium will play like all the best adventure games and will have players exploring their surroundings and adding to a journal. It's tricky to know what the rest of the game will entail at this early stage but we can see the playable protagonist's diary features the tabs: 'Status,' 'Inventory,' 'Map,' 'Log,' and 'System Menu' - which might give you more of an idea of what we'll get up to.
In one scene in the trailer, we can see a pocket watch keeping track of the time and what looks like a shovel equipped to the character. There's also a shop that appears to sell tools, complete with a friendly shopkeeper, and some exploration - which gives Vivarium an almost Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing: New Horizons type of vibe. There's a lot of mystery surrounding this game and I can't wait to see more of it as development progresses.
You can stay up to date with the indie's progress by signing up for the Vivarium newsletter via its official website and by following the game on Twitter.

While these space rocks are millions or even billions of kilometers away from Earth, located in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, their orbits bring them close to Earth on some occasions. Spacecraft such as Dawn, OSIRIS-REx, and Hayabusa2 have helped in discovering and studying asteroids, unlocking their secrets. Moreover, NASA has several space telescopes and ground-based observatories in place such as the NEOWISE telescope, Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), Pans-STARRS1, Catalina Sky Survey, the Hubble Space Telescope and the new $1 billion James Webb Space Telescope.

It was a comeback year for the world's wealthiest. The combined net worth of the 500 richest people surged by $1.5 trillion in 2023, fully rebounding from the $1.4 trillion lost the year prior, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Once again, their fortunes were closely correlated to the performance of tech stocks, which rose to fresh records this year despite recession fears, lingering inflation, lofty interest rates, and geopolitical turmoil. Tech billionaires saw their wealth grow by 48% or $658 billion, propelled by intense hype around artificial intelligence. No one did better than Elon Musk, who recaptured the title of world's richest person from French luxury tycoon Bernard Arnault. The Tesla Inc. chief executive officer netted an additional $95.4 billion through Thursday's close, bolstered by the success of Tesla and SpaceX, after losing $138 billion in 2022. His net worth is now more than $50 billion above Arnault's after a global slowdown in demand for luxury goods dented shares of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE.
