Flourishing Fungi Adventure 'Slumbering Woods' Coming to Steam in 2027 & Attending BitSummit
Brisbane-based studio Chunky Quail has announced that their upcoming cosy mushroom-planting exploration adventure Slumbering Woods will be launching on PC (via Steam) in 2027.
Slumbering Woods is a cosy mushroom-planting exploration adventure where planting is the solution to every obstacle. After a violent storm separates you from your travelling companions, you wake in a remote village being overtaken by strange fungal growth.
To continue your journey, you help the villagers restore their settlement, earning access to their knowledge, tools, and the hidden paths that lead deeper into the fungal forest.
Chunky Quail will be showcasing Slumbering Woods in Kyoto, Japan, at BitSummit from Friday, May 22 to Sunday, May 24, 2026.
“We started developing Slumbering Woods two years ago, inspired by our love of rainforest walks and the incredible ecosystems they support." Shared the Chunky Quail team. "We wanted to create a world that captures the wonder of discovering strange fungi in nature while also reflecting how fragile these ecosystems can be and how easily they can be disrupted. Turning that inspiration into exploration and puzzle-solving has been an exciting challenge, and we’re happy to finally share the game publicly and bring it to BitSummit for players to experience for the first time.”
Slumbering Woods is launching on PC (via Steam) in 2027. News about its development and release will be shared at a later date. For more information, consider following Chunky Quail on Bluesky and Instagram.
