Garden Paws: Relaxing RPG Sandbox Game

Discover Garden Paws, a soothing game where you restore an overgrown garden and rebuild an old farmhouse, all while befriending adorable animals.

What is Garden Paws?

Garden Paws is a cute and relaxing sandbox role-playing game developed and published by German indie studio Bitten Toast Games in 2018. In the game, you play as a young animal character who has inherited an overgrown garden from their grandmother.

Your goal is to bring the neglected garden back to its former glory by clearing weeds, growing plants, gathering resources, crafting items and structures, and nurturing a community of anthropomorphic animal neighbors who come to visit. As you expand and customize your garden, more animal villagers will stop by with quests, stories, or shops to contribute.

Core gameplay centers around resource gathering, crafting, farming, fishing, and interior decorating. The art style features bright, cheerful graphics and the soundtrack contributes to the chill, positive mood. There's no combat, failure states or strict objectives so players are free to progress at their own pace.

The game has received praise for its cute visuals, relaxing pace focused on creativity over combat, interesting NPC characters and stories, and support for user-generated mod content on PC. With regular free updates continually adding features and quality-of-life improvements, Garden Paws offers a peaceful, engaging experience for fans of sandbox games, animal crossing sims, RPG builders, or farming games.
