Get ready to swing an axe and really soak in the magic of the forest, because April Grove, the latest gem from indie studio Colorgrave, is landing on PC via Steam this summer. This retro pixel-art adventure invites you to step into the boots of a woodcutter, where you can chop, explore, and uncover secrets. From the team behind Prodigal and Curse Crackers, this standalone journey is all about the simple joy of life among the trees.
Your main job is to chop wood, meet the friendly locals, and explore a world brimming with personality. The game’s retro pixel-art style, combined with a soothing, original soundtrack, creates a genuinely peaceful vibe that’s just perfect for unwinding. Whether you’re upgrading your skills or just wandering off to pet a squirrel, the game truly lets you set your own pace.
Additionally, you can customize your journey with enchanted necklaces, powerful upgrades for axes, or even special foods that tweak your experience. Play as a guy or a girl, and make the adventure entirely your own. Oh, and those forest animals? Some might love a pat, but others might give you the cold shoulder.
