Announced to widespread excitement and achieving an incredible 125 percent funding on Kickstarter in 2021, The Garden Path instantly became one of the darlings of the early wholesome game movement. Visitors to the Garden came for the hand-drawn storybook visual style and stayed for the game’s uniquely wistful, yet hopeful spirit that touches every corner of this tender world.
A slice-of-life sim about the joys of gardening, the warmth of making new friends, the worth of building something of your own, and finding new life in old things. The Garden Path asks gardeners to celebrate the small moments in a space to call their own, at a pace they choose.
Designed to be played in short bursts as and when you wish, time here runs in concert with the outside world. Stop by to wander your garden whenever the mood takes you, and find new travelers, events, activities, and distractions waiting for you each day.
Features:
- Designed with short play sessions in mind; enjoy 10-30 minutes of daily errands, visitors, and more to explore, with real-time progression even when you’re away.
- Cultivate plants, whistle to charm song-fish, design your home, and help your new friends—play your way, and focus on what you enjoy.
- Meet an endearing troupe of travelers who will come and go, and a playful cast of vegetable-headed residents each with their own stories to tell.
- Piece together a whimsical history as you discover the secrets of the Garden.
- Lush illustrated visuals and a twinkling day/night soundtrack to complete your stay.
- Invite another to join you in local co-op mode and nurture your garden together.
