Our new Slumbering Woods trailer is here!
Premiered at Frosty Games Fest, it shows more of what the game’s really about - cosy exploration, planting puzzles, and the thrill of chasing bugs (or being chased by them).

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have
‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head
Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

A freshly cut banana stump is, quite unexpectedly, a perfect source of game sounds. Our team spent a suspicious amount of time under the sun, diligently recording the noble arts of cutting, stubbing, and splitting.

The mushrooms told us to make a #Mastodon account.
They didn’t say why, but we have a feeling it’s important. Let's bee friends if you're there too.

Kreeta, the Slumbering Woods village's premier mushroom enthusiast assures us her house is not being slowly digested by oversized fungi. "It’s all part of an ongoing mycology experiment," she told the Slumbering Gazette, from what remains of her balcony.

In Slumbering Woods, plants are not in a hurry.
They don’t care that you have other things to do. They don’t care if you’re waiting around with a watering can. They grow when they feel like it - and that takes days.
Patience, dear gardener. The woods move at their own pace.

It's your average night-time stroll at Slumbering Woods.
Bugs buzzing existential questions, mushrooms whispering the answers, and a mossy statue quietly leaking red goo from its eye sockets.
