More about the developer: Founded in Bristol, UK in 2016 by illustrator Louis Durrant, carrotcake previously developed the beautiful European fable Crossing to the Cold Valley, and Kingdom Ka, an abstract retelling of the world’s oldest stories, prior to their work on The Garden Path. Durrant is a one-person development team, whose primary goal is to build spaces that people want to exist in. With The Garden Path, that mantra can be seen in every facet of the game. Growing up watching the Moomins and Studio Ghibli films, Durrant credits both works as inspirations for The Garden Path.

There were some initial Steam Deck issues for this one, but the developer has already done a couple of quick patches so it should be okay now.

You can buy it with Native Linux support from itch.io and Steam.

I was looking for a new Deck game, and this seemed perfect. Have had it on my wishlist for ..... a looong time? (who knows how long lol) ... and it plays wonderfully! It's not certified yet, but it has full controller support and text scaling, so it works great!
