Think Dave the Diver, but cozy. Forage and cook your way through Gendo’s journey as you discover a mystical, ever-changing forest. Gendo runs a small teahouse and, after long days of gathering goodies, returns to his village to cook and serve his creations to the locals from whatever the forest provides that day. Oh, and you can pet the raccoon.
About the Game
Gendo the Gatherer is a game about slow days and simple pleasures. Spend your time exploring and gathering in abundant biomes, then return to your village each evening to tend to your teahouse and unwind.

- House Customisation: Unlock new furniture and make Gendo’s home truly his own.
- Quests: Help out the locals and earn your place in the community.

What to Expect from the Playtest
The playtest gives players an early taste of Gendo the Gatherer’s world. Explore the forest, take on quests and start making Gendo’s house feel like home. A deliberately early slice of the game designed to give players a feel for the atmosphere.
