Scariest creature in this wood.
Developed by Pine Creek Games and published by Noodlecake, Winter Burrow is a cosy woodland survival game where you play as a mouse who braves frigid weather, collects food and resources, and rebuilds their childhood home.

It’s an opening that echoes the call for a simpler, more self-actualised life that is seen at the beginning of Stardew Valley and many early Harvest Moon titles, yet Winter Burrow’s beginning is tinged with a sadness that threads itself through the remaining plot in a way that feels appropriate for a cast of wildlife creatures trying to survive a brutal winter.
