Our take on Nearwood - Collector's Edition
The dramatic premise receives more attention than the concrete details of how exploration or village assistance works. The edition’s additions are identified clearly: media extras, a hidden-creature activity, the Snoopedia, and one bonus chapter.
What is Nearwood - Collector's Edition?
Jane and Fey return to Nearwood after winter suddenly covers the land in ice and snow.
The freeze drives gnomes from a quiet village, so the pair explore new locations and assist villagers while investigating the source of the cold. Their search reveals that the weather is connected to Killiman, an ancient evil seeking revenge after spending thousands of years imprisoned between two worlds. The Collector’s Edition includes desktop wallpapers, a soundtrack, concept art, a bonus activity involving hidden Snoop-Sees, the Snoopedia, and an additional chapter.
