Yeah, you saw that right. Animated cutscenes.
Our wonderful artist / animator has been hard at work creating a cutscene for Dogwood's Prologue.

As part of Tidal Splash 2026 (festival link here) we're opening playtest signups. The closed playtest is based off of a convention build, so it's only a short taste (about 10 minutes) of what the game offers.

The playtest begins soon, so be sure to sign up!
