If you’ve already spent time in the Garden, we would love and endlessly appreciate Steam reviews! It boosts the discoverability of The Garden Path on the Steam platform and is the best way to help indie devs.
We also dearly appreciate the thoughtful reviews from critics! Here’s just a few of the wonderful impressions The Garden Path received.
“To help the experience, The Garden Path is absolutely stunning. The gardens are designed in a way that looks hand-crafted. Brush strokes can be seen in tree leaves, and characters look like watercolour craft paper. It has an impressive amount of details for a game with such a simple premise, but this detail makes it even easier to sink into. A lot of the time, The Garden Path gave me the feeling of being wrapped in a warm blanket on a rainy evening, which is exactly what I want when playing something so relaxing.” - Kara Phillips, PC Gamer
“I do absolutely recommend this game if you’re a fan of whimsy, gardening, and slower-paced adventures. Not everyone has the time to spend hours gaming at once, nor do they want to, so for those who want a quick little getaway to a lovely land, The Garden Path is right up your alley.” - Holly Alice, Pocket Tactics
“It's a time frame which also perfectly suits how developer carrotcake has purposefully designed The Garden Path to be played in short bursts instead of long play sessions. You're meant to run out of things to do. You're meant to return the next day like I did to see if there are new items for sale or the prices have changed. You're always meant to have another reason to walk down the garden path.” - Lottie Lynn, Eurogamer
“This is not a game for the faint-hearted. If you like bright colours and clear guidance, look for a different game. But, just like in real life, the more time and effort you invest, the more reward you get, especially when it comes to gardening.” - Lynne Newey, Ladies Gamer
Until next time…
