Blinkwood is a pixel-art survival adventure in an orchard that rearranges itself whenever no one is watching.

Wren's Gran has left a note: the lantern oil is low, the Harvest Moon is rising, and the orchard has started to forget itself. Paths drift, trees appear where there were none, and the scarecrows wander closer. They only move when you're not looking at them, and if you stare one down, it backs away.

Your lantern is your only defense. Anything inside its cone is held in place, and everything outside it is up for change. You can only carry two things at a time, so every trip through the dark is a choice.

What you'll do

Gather pumpkins to relight the hearth.

Carry them to Gran's shrines, whose steady light pushes the dark back.

Find Gran's lost cookie and teddy bear, then bring them home.

Keep watch as scarecrows creep in from the edges, and drop everything if one catches you.

When the story ends, keep playing in the endless orchard and see how many pumpkins you can bring home.
