Colorgrave, the indie studio behind Prodigal, Curse Crackers, and Veritus, is heading back into the woods with April Grove, a laid-back forest adventure launching this summer on PC. Set in a vibrant pixel-art wilderness, the game invites players to slow down, chop some wood, and uncover woodland secrets at their own pace.
Known for its story-rich games and heartfelt worldbuilding, Colorgrave is blending lore and relaxation in April Grove, a standalone experience that trades combat and chaos for charm and quiet discovery. Whether you’re racing to upgrade your axe or just hanging out with the locals, April Grove is all about letting players play their own way.
Life as a Woodcutter Has Never Looked This Peaceful
In April Grove, you step into the boots of a brand-new woodcutter, chosen by a divine force and gifted a mystical axe. Your mission? Help the forest town thrive — one log at a time. From gathering resources and exploring the wilderness to befriending quirky residents, it’s all about how you want to shape your journey.
If you’re looking for action, upgrade your axe and master the craft of woodcutting. Prefer a more relaxed pace? Stop to smell the flowers, soak in the atmosphere, or try to pet every animal you find (some may not be into it, fair warning).
And don’t worry — the magical forest is self-replenishing, so there’s no risk of over-chopping. Sustainability has never been so effortless.
