About This Game

On the eve of the Blossom Festival, Count Corvin, a crow with a passion for collecting, steals the five blossoms of the Old Cherry. Without them the seasons of Hopwood Valley stand still: the meadow is stuck in morning, the thicket in autumn, the bog in night, the pass in winter. Little Pinky sets out to bring the blossoms home and learns that the thief was not stealing but saving, and that the valley itself has a story everyone has forgotten.

A cozy fairy tale with a secret

On the surface it is bright and funny; deeper down lie a quiet sadness and a mystery. Nobody dies here: defeated creatures remember who they used to be.

Five regions to explore

• Cherry Meadow, Leaffall Thicket, Misty Bog, Snowy Pass and Corvin's Tower: large connected regions of rooms, with paths leading every way.
  
• Every act brings a new ability: a punch, a roll, a feather for the double jump, a stone throw, crates. The secrets behind them call you back.
  
• Lanterns let you rest, save and travel from lantern to lantern. The region map fills in as you explore.

The Whisper

Hold a button and hear what creatures, villagers and even old things are thinking. Their thoughts, 15 memory stones, Corvin's notes and conversations piece together the valley's forgotten story.

And also

• Five bosses, each with its own way of fighting and its own memory: Bodun the Ram Beetle, Conehurler the Squirrel Gunner, Tinna the Toad Queen, Prickles the Ice Hedgehog and Count Corvin.
  
• 12 badges that change how you play: Long Fist, Magnet for coins, Petal Shield and more.
  
• 163 cherry pits, and the Dreams of the Old Cherry for those who gather them.
  
• Martha the Badger's shop, costumes, and Sir Bronka's ten Knight's Rules.
  
• A secret ending for those who remember everyone.
  
• Pixel art and a gentle soundtrack.
  
• Play with the keyboard, keyboard and mouse, or the mouse alone.
  
• Languages: English, Russian, French.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI tools were used in making Hopwood. The music and sound effects were created with ElevenLabs. The game’s icon was created with an image generator (OpenAI). The story, dialogue and other in-game text, their English and French translations, and part of the code were written with AI assistants (Claude) under the developer’s direction. The level, creature and interface art comes from licensed asset packs (Platformer 2D Game Kit, Sunny Land, Bamao UI); the temporary sprites of some characters were drawn by a script and will be replaced. Nothing is generated by AI while you play, and the game does not connect to any external AI service.
