Story

Restore your broken-down childhood burrow to a place you can again call home and relax in front of the fireplace. Play as a mouse who has returned from life in the big city only to find that your childhood home is in ruin. And your Aunt, who was supposed to be looking after it, has gone missing.

What is happening now

The game launched in November 2025 across Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Game Pass before expanding to iOS and Android platforms. Since its release, Winter Burrow has seen steady platform expansion and retail momentum. The title arrived on mobile devices with its hand-drawn visual style and burrow-rebuilding gameplay intact.
