Disney Dreamlight Valley is the Kingdom Hearts of life-sim games

Disney Dreamlight Diary is a new life-simulation game that stars familiar faces from Disney properties. The game takes place in the Dreamlight Valley, a place where Pixar and Disney characters have settled down. It looks like a cozy place to explore, with gardening, cooking, social activities, and — of course — dolly dress up. It’s also not without its problems. The Forgetting, a bizarre event that left the Valley’s residents with no memories and which also left Night Thorns behind, caused it to be teeming.

Players can create their character and personalize it, then they will be able to start hanging out and playing with other characters such as Simba, Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Ariel. They’ll develop relationships and assist other characters in their recovery of lost memories.

Each of the cozy activities seem to be linked to different Pixar and Disney characters. Want to cook? You’ll probably hang out with Remy from Ratatouille, while gardeners will need to visit Wall-E’s vegetable garden. It is large enough that players have the option of setting up their villages in the Peaceful Meadow or in Frosted Heights. This allows them to live the Elsa fantasy.

Disney Dreamlight Valley will enter early access this summer on PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox. Players can either purchase a Founders Pack, or the title will be available on Xbox Game Pass. The 2023. launch will be complete.
