Bristol, UK, 22 March 2022 — The cozy and contemplative life sim The Garden Path showed some brand-new gameplay at the MIX 10th anniversary showcase today. Wandering onto PC and Nintendo Switch later this year after a successful crowdfunding campaign, The Garden Path invites you to rebuild a long-forgotten garden, make new friends and take the time to smell the flowers. If you missed the new trailer on the show, here it is: https://youtu.be/bAUYRq4iXPA
 
With a stunning, hand-drawn storybook aesthetic and beautiful day and night original soundtracks, The Garden Path will welcome you with its warmth, tranquility, and low-pressure gameplay. A living world built to be played as and when you wish (on your own or with a friend in local co-op), the garden will present new encounters, stories to weave, and distractions each time you play.
 
Features

  • A humble gardening life-sim with real-time progress even when you’re away.

  • Rich illustrated visuals and original soundtracks that draw you in.

  • A charming cast of characters, all with their own unique personalities and stories to tell. Some of your vegetable-headed friends may even decide to move in!

  • Plant seeds, watch them grow, then harvest them for materials to use later.

  • Go fishing and score a big catch, collect dustflies, and trade your findings for new items.

  • Collect furniture, then decorate the garden and your tent to make it feel like home.

About carrotcake:
Founded in Bristol, UK in 2016 by illustrator Louis Durrant, carrotcake previously developed 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, where they feel comfortable. 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.
