Cozy woodland survival game Winter Burrow to launch in November
Independent developer Pine Creek Games has slated cozy woodland survival game Winter Burrow for release on November 12th. The Tokyo Game Show trailer is streaming on publisher Noodlecake Studios' YouTube channel.

Five years in the making, Winter Burrow invites players to inhabit the role of a mouse searching for a lost family member. Players can customize the wardrobe of the mouse protagonist, venture out into the winter cold to collect resources, and decorate the interiors of the burrow, while unraveling the mystery of the missing aunt.

"With Winter Burrow, I want to create that place I imagined as a child," creative director Benjamin Salqvist told Xbox Wire. "To be a part of the miniature world and the enchanting life that happens between the gnarled roots of the trees. As a father, I’m happy to be able to give that back to my children. Both with trips out into nature from when they were very small and now seeing them play Winter Burrow and getting lost in that world.

Music for the isometric-perspective adventure is by composer and sound designer Andreas Busk. Winter Burrow will launch for Nintendo Switch, Windows through Steam, and Xbox consoles, included with Game Pass.


From the Xbox product page:
Winter Burrow is a cozy woodland survival game where you explore, gather resources, craft tools, knit warm sweaters, bake pies and meet the locals.

Restore your broken-down childhood burrow to a place you can again call home and relax in front of the fireplace. Play as a mouse who has returned from life in the big city only to find that your childhood home is in ruin. And your Aunt, who was supposed to be looking after it, has gone missing.
