Instead, Tiny Glade simply offers a meadow and tools with which to build.
As a first look into the game, the Tiny Glade demo is somewhat limited.
There went my plans to recreate a ‘cheery’ Winterfell with less snow and somber Sean Bean dialogue.
Instead, I opted to make a cosy cottage where perhaps a witch growing herbs could live.
At first I was stricken by the lack of furniture items to clutter my entryways and garden space.
I decided that my witch also needed to have a fondness for collecting antiques in her spare time.
This feeling was short-lived, however, as I discovered the secret way Tiny Glade is symbiotically interconnected.
I moved a few walls around and saw an adorable wood pile decoration.
How else is she meant to heat her home in this economy?
I then moved onto the roof, deciding that she needed a turret next to the regular house.
This would be her little reading space, full of books about horticulture and occult studies.
After placing the roof, out popped out a bird’s nest.
These little surprises were both delightful and quickly determined which direction I was going to be building.
Emulating the legend that is Bob Ross, I came up with little stories as I built.
A ladder for the witch to gather herbs from above and maintain the crumbling stonework.
Towels all blazoned with Crab motifs - maybe she grew up by the seaside?
Archways leading off into the meadow towards the ruins of an old Roman bathhouse.
All of this land is how you know she has some serious money.
All the while, you’re treated to some truly divine sound design.
That’s to say, everything is bright and cheerful.
you could pick up the demo for free via theSteam store page, until June 17th.
Personally, I’d love to see more animals.
Perhaps a squashy little frog for my cottage inhabitants to care for.
