The Faded Grove
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
After countless adventures, Agatha has returned to her childhood home, only to find her mentor petrified and the once-vibrant woods she loves bereft of color.
This isometric puzzle game mingles the nostalgia of classics such as Zelda with a modern stylization to create a one-of-a-kind atmospheric experience. Step into the worn-down boots of a veteran adventurer as she combats perilous foes, thwarts tricky puzzles, and restores color to the forest she loves.

I love this!! I love the isometric design and art style (reminds me of Bastion!), and the sound design is great. I suck at puzzles so maybe this is my bad, but the first time you encounter the box, I pushed it off the cliff and then I couldn't interact with it. This is probably just me being too dumb to solve this puzzle XD but thought I'd let you know just in case!
Hey chayac, Thanks for playing! The block is suppose to fall off. Now you just have to push it in to the goal to solve the puzzle!
So so cool!!!! Great job everyone! I had a lot of fun playing this! :D The sounds and visuals are AMAZING.
Thank you, Brad! Our team is really happy that we could make everything come together. :)
It's an amazing looking game, and the sound designs are very nice and cute! However, in the second "level" with the pushing box, I could not pull it, and the box got stuck on the ramp. So I was left with no idea what to do, and a seemingly important part of the puzzle was out of action.
Thanks for the feedback! We're going to work on making the blocks more user-friendly and clear about where they go and how they're used.
