Play Overview
Winter Burrow is a simulation survival game about a mouse returning home to restore their childhood burrow. Play involves exploring, gathering resources, crafting warm knitted clothes, and restoring your home to what it once was. Enduring the winter is part of the fun, but the real draw is how you can make your home unique with furniture, tools, and decorations.
Set in a winter forest, you play a mouse who returns from the big city to find their childhood home in ruins. To make matters worse, your aunt (who was supposed to be looking after it) has gone missing. You must restore your broken-down childhood burrow to its former glory. As you gather more and more resources, you can focus on projects to complete, from rebuilding a broken-down bridge to clearing out the hostile bugs nearby.
As you progress, you learn more about the world and how you can affect it. Success requires you to explore your surroundings and venture deeper into the wilderness. If things get too challenging, you can opt for a playstyle that fits. For example, focusing on customising your home instead of tackling the infestation of bugs nearby.
The result is a child-friendly game you can play at your own pace, with a heartfelt story. Gradually expanding your home while fighting to survive can be challenging, but it's precisely this challenge that makes success so rewarding.
