The Garden Path offers a purposefully slow escape


A look at The Garden Path - a gardening simulator tied to the real world clock from the developers, carrotcake.

The Garden Path begins with a message asking you to be careful when foraging plants in the real world and, as someone who spent their teenage years living in the middle of nowhere, trust me when I say this is good advice. In my inventory lay a pair of broken secateurs and on my map sat three question marks, making my quest one of investigating these three locations to see if any held the answer to fixing my tool. While this promises to transform The Garden Path into a charming sanctuary you can escape into, it also sprouts a troublesome thorn where the game relies on you both enjoying this gameplay style and, most importantly, remembering to play.
