The game puts you in the tiny shoes of a mouse returning from the big city to find their childhood home in ruins. To make matters worse, your Aunt, who was supposed to be looking after the burrow, has mysteriously gone missing. From there, it’s up to you to rebuild, survive the frozen wilderness, and uncover what really happened.


What makes Winter Burrow stand out is its slower pace and emphasis on comfort. Instead of combat, you’ll spend your time gathering resources, knitting sweaters, baking pies, and befriending quirky woodland locals. You can decorate your burrow, customize your character, and choose how to approach survival.


Pine Creek Games has cited inspirations like Animal Crossing and 7 Days to Die, and you can see that influence in the hand-drawn art style and focus on emotional storytelling.
