Two great games I've been playing this week: Whiskerwood, where you run a colony of mice in an old-timey setting; and Winter Burrow, where you play as one mouse in an old-timey setting.
Clearly old school mice are the way forward.

The winner takes all-instant hit-meme-flywheel mentality that has completely overtaken the games industry and even #indiedev is poison.
It deteriorates the space for risk and sustainable growth, until all that's left is to to either make slot-machines or slop-machines.

“the tone in Winter Burrow is impeccable. It can go from calm and serene to darkly depressing in an instant… At the same time, it’s compelling in a way that makes you want to keep pushing forward”

While it could use a few quality of life adjustments, Winter Burrow feels like a life sim made for folks who liked Watership Down and The Secret of NIMH. www.siliconera.com/review-life-...
Review: Life Sim Winter Burrow Makes Us a Tiny Mouse in a Cold World
While Winter Burrow doesn’t shy away from the darker sides of survival games, it’s also a charming and calming mouse life sim.

@pinecreekgames.com Winter Burrow was exactly what I wanted it to be. A cozy survival game with an emphasis on reconnecting. Equally sad and heartwarming. The pacing and progression felt a little too quick but I loved what I got!

This reminds me of a lot of literary properties I’ve read in the past like Mouse Guard, A Frog in the Fall, Wind in the Willows.
The characters are excellently written and the survival elements aren’t too harsh. I recommend! #indiegames #cozygames
