There’s more to say as well, but that was my main takeaway from the current build.

The player character stands in the pink and green toned garden in The Garden Path

The Garden Path is like Animal Crossing in that it works in real time.

And there’s only so much you’re free to do at a time in it.

Sometimes this is fun.

The player talks to Larto, a big buffalo who likes to fish, on the edge of the river bank in The Garden Path. It’s night and the scene is lit by a pink-ish lantern

That’s cool and weird and sort of intuitive even as it is confusing.

But other things right now are hard to feel out.

The thing is, I’m not actually that annoyed by it.

This is what it means to walk the garden path!
