Undergrowth (Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
'The Camp Guide's Guide to Camp Guiding'?
Hope it'll actually serve its purpose.
You play as Morgan, who is an undercover cop on an expedition as a camp guide-in-training far out in the mountains. You make friends within the camps, searching for answers regarding your lost comrade, who was also undercover before they were wiped off the radar.
In time, you realize that everyone starts developing a strange infection and you discover that its source is right at the heart of the research center near camp. Some kind of mold has been growing, and it's not pretty. No back ups have been called, and you're essentially stranded for months.
Your mission is simple: Find the truth behind the disappearance of your comrade, survive the cold with your newfound allies and escape the frozen confines of the mountains before it’s too late.

I LOVED THIS, the art, the voice acting and the story direction! I'm so invested in these characters and trying to keep the couples together 😭Looking forward to more!
Thank you for playing and the video link, Misskatonik!! Appreciate you and good job keeping them together >:3c
Holy cats, this is massive in both scope and polish for a demo, let alone for a jam game! The voice acting is absolutely phenomenal, the characters are delightful and grounded, and the story manages to hit the sweet spot for me in terms of a tonal balance between tension and humor. I love the artwork, and the music and ambient soundscapes feel organic and add to the sense of isolation and danger. Definitely intrigued, and looking forward to seeing more! 💚
Undergrowth is a novel and well crafted narrative that manages to be warm, funny, gripping and unsettling all at once. Firstly, the game was beautiful aesthetically. I loved the art style and character design, and found it really impressive considering how many characters and locations that had to be done in 30 days! There were also great performances all round from the ensemble cast ; the characters feel real which meant I am 100% invested in whether or not they will all make it out in one piece! The story was compelling enough that even I, someone with a very short attention span, was happy to see it through to the end. I looking forward to seeing how the story ends!
I can't tell you how excited I am for this game! The world building, characterization, art, music, atmosphere captured me completely. Thank you for sharing your creativity!
Hello Malia!! I'm so glad to hear that you've enjoyed your playthrough!
The Dev team and I are determined to work on the full release, so I hope that you'll continue to support us when that happens! <3
I will definitely do this! The game is fresh and interesting. I also hope that eventually it will be on Steam.
Well I have good news because Steam release is definitely in our future plans! :D
Thank you so much for your support!! <3
