Bristol, UK, 11 December 2023 – The Garden Path, a cozy slice-of-life sim coming to PC and Nintendo Switch, just got a new confirmed release window: gardeners can expect to wander through the Garden in late Spring 2024, alone or with a friend in local co-op! https://youtu.be/IS6Iiz-Bq9A
Designed to be played in short bursts, how and when you wish, time in The Garden Path runs in concert with the outside world. Stop by to wander around your garden whenever the mood takes you, and find new travellers, events, activities, and distractions waiting for you each day. Take your time, play for a little while, and experience it all at your own pace. It’s a space to call your own, to curate, and to reflect.

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 digital spaces that people want to lose themselves 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.
