Disney Dreamlight Valley is a life management simulation game where the player finds themselves in a world populated by Disney and Pixar characters. After mysteriously arriving in Dreamlight Valley, your character encounters Merlin the wizard who explains that the Valley is under a terrible spell called the Darkness. This spell causes the residents of the valley to forget important memories–some characters have even disappeared. In addition to its effect on those who live in Dreamlight Valley, the landscape itself has changed. Dark thorns grow everywhere, even blocking your path to other areas of the world. It is up to you and your friends in the Valley to remove this dark magic, bring back the ruler who has disappeared, and bring memories back to everyone again. 

In the game, your player avatar interacts with the residents of Dreamlight Valley and helps them to fulfill various quests. This earns you Dreamlight, a type of currency that can be used to remove larger thorns from blocked off areas of the map. It can also be used to visit other realms to locate characters who have disappeared from the valley. The player can cook, craft, fish, farm, and forage to accomplish their goals within the game. 

Disney Dreamlight Valley is currently in Early Access at the time of this writing, meaning that changes might be made to the final version of the game. It is rated E for Everyone.
