From Press Release:
Bristol, UK, 30 July 2024 — The highly anticipated slice-of-life gardening sim The Garden Path is out today on PC and Nintendo Switch! Developer Louis Durrant (carrotcake), with the support of publisher Mooncat Games, is thrilled to launch this handcrafted game after seven years of development.

The Garden Path invites you to take time to smell the roses, one short gameplay session at a time: each season passes in one real-time week, and each new day brings new visitors or residents to your garden, or simply a new opportunity to grow your garden the way you wish.
“The Garden Path has been a labour of love and an endless learning experience. It’s some piece of me that I’ve been shaping almost every day for over seven years. All those years there’s been countless times I’ve lost the wood for the trees, but advice and kind words have recentred me toward where the game is now,” said solo dev Louis Durrant. “If you’ve been following me along the way, from the bottom of my heart: Thank you. If this is your first time playing, then I warmly welcome you to the Garden.”
