About This Game

Between forgotten statues and newfound friends, find yourself a new wilderness.
Discover a secret garden, and your role within it, in these dense woodlands.

The Garden Path is a slice-of-life gardening sim that celebrates small moments. No matter how you decide to play, the garden is a tender world of familiar sights and sounds, mysteries, and friendly faces. A space to call your own, to curate, and to reflect.


Designed to be played in short bursts as and when you wish, time in The Garden Path runs in concert with the outside world. Stop by to wander your garden whenever the mood takes you, and find new travelers, 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.



You won’t be alone in your new home. A charming cast of vegetable-headed visitors are eager to make your acquaintance, and may even make their home alongside your own.

Over time, an endearing troupe of travelers will come and go. Get to know Bunk the tea-brewing macaque, Larto the musk ox with a penchant for song-fish, and many more.

You can even invite a friend to play in local co-op and spend time together in the garden!



Your garden will grow to reflect the passage of time and your own design. Find plants to cultivate, whistle to charm song-fish in a unique fishing mini-game, trade what you harvest, and take part in events across the passing days.

Throughout your wanderings, you may come across pages from a curious time-worn journal. Gather these pieces together to uncover the lost history of the Garden.



With a unique hand-drawn aesthetic, The Garden Path’s stunning visual design embraces you from the start. Build a new haven in your own storybook-style garden, a place to visit and get lost in the melodies. With two original soundtracks, each unique to Night and Day, enjoy the Garden’s music whenever you might play.
