Hallo, Benjamin (he/him) from Pine Creek Games here👋🌲🎮 First of all, thank you so much to all of you who have showed interest in our game Winter Burrow and thank you for all the kind words. It warms extremely much and it motivates all of us from the team to know, that what we make resonates with others. It's crazy to think that in 2019 the first sketches were made and the first funding application sent and now 5 years ( and three kids ) later we are here. It all began while I was playing a lot of survival games and started imagining what a survival game with woodland creatures would be like.

It was amazing and I wanted to transfer that feeling into a video game.

All these things became the spark that made Winter Burrow the Cozy Survival Game it is now.
