10 itemsAbout the Game
Become entranced in a surreal storybook adventure! Slumbering Woods is an atmospheric and peaceful puzzle adventure where planting mushrooms solves puzzles and opens pathways! After a violent storm separates you from your travel companions, you wake in a mysterious fungal forest inhabited by bewitching but bizarre creatures. Help the villagers restore their homes, build and decorate with the new items you craft, and grow your relationships throughout the forest.
At the heart of the game is planting as puzzle-solving. Plant mushrooms, study their effects and discover new seeds as you explore deeper into the forest. Use mushrooms to clear routes, climb obstacles, even traverse water - and don’t forget which ones you can eat!
Balance your time across a unique day/night cycle that shifts as you rest, providing time for your mushrooms to take shape and transform the village. Meanwhile, spend time around the campfire with your newfound companions.
