You love the woods.
You fear the woods.
You can't stay away from the woods.
Document your character’s last days in the nearby haunted
woods in Carved by the Garden, a single-player structured journaling
game. Using a standard deck of playing cards, you’ll follow prompts that
reveal the horrors waiting for you among the trees. You’ll also roll
dice, pull blocks from a tumbling tower, and write about your
experiences in character.
With 52 prompts, 6 major and 4 minor endings, and 7 thought-starting character archetypes, each playthrough is unique!
Carved by the Garden is a solo journaling game
inspired by folk horror stories like The Witch, The Ritual, Midsommar,
and those found in Damnable Tales: A Folk Horror Anthology. Featuring a
sprawling forest as a backdrop, Carved by the Garden blends
self-reflecting questions with unsettling and often bloody discoveries.

- A 6-sided die
- 8 small pieces of nature to act as tokens (leaves, pebbles, seeds, thorns, petals, etc.)
- A tumbling block tower (or one of the listed alternatives)

During the game, you’ll roll dice, draw cards from the
deck, read their associated events, pull blocks from the tumbling tower,

character.
