About The Garden Path:
Announced to widespread excitement and achieving an incredible 125% 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 travellers, events, activities, and distractions waiting for you each day.
 
Wander down The Garden Path when it blooms onto Steam, Itch.io, and Nintendo Switch this 30 July.

About carrotcake:
Founded in Bristol, UK in 2016 by illustrator Louis Durrant, carrotcake previously developed the beautiful European fable Crossing to the Cold Valley, and Kingdom Ka, an abstract retelling of the world’s oldest stories, prior to their ongoing work on The Garden Path. Durrant is a one-person development team, whose primary goal is to build spaces that people want to exist in. With The Garden Path, that mantra can be seen in every facet of the game. Growing up watching the Moomins and Studio Ghibli films, Durrant credits both works as inspirations for The Garden Path.
 
About Mooncat Games:
Mooncat began as a natural evolution out of Player Two PR, founded in 2016. The agency provides PR and marketing support to a range of indie clients, and has built a small but very dedicated team of marketers (and friends!) around the world. Our team began to offer additional services and profit-sharing agreements, just to make it possible to help excellent teams make lovely games. Before we knew it, we had signed three gorgeous indie titles, and Mooncat Games was born.
