Solo dev. Building Keepers of Umbrasil, a cozy forest sanctuary game. May the forest find all who are wild-called. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4499690/Keepers_of_Umbrasil/

A game screenshot in a wooden panel framed by twisting vines, moss, honeysuckle, bluebells and lily of the valley, with a bluebird perched in the top right and two butterflies on the frame. The title reads "The Hound of the Fallen." Below it stands a white, long-furred dog with large feathered wings raised at its sides and a curled plumed tail. A dialogue box reads: "Sometimes I run in really big circles around the sanctuary just to make sure everything is still here. It always is!!!!" Two buttons sit at the bottom, labeled Pet and Continue.
A bear in profile, walking left to right, built entirely from pressed leaves and petals in muted dusty pink, sage green, lavender, and gold. A spray of tiny cream flowers runs along its spine. It sits on aged cream paper inside a thin double-ruled border, with pressed wildflower arrangements in each corner — bluebells, pink blossoms, and delicate gold-green foliage — and a small sprig centred top and bottom.
A game screen framed in painted vines, moss, bluebells and lily of the valley, with a bluebird perched in the top corner. Inside is a collection entry titled "Red Eft". On the left, the game's painted illustration of a small orange newt with black-ringed spots. On the right, a real photograph of a red eft on grey stones among green leaves, added by the player.
Keepers of Umbrasil teaser image. A large antlered stag-like creature with pale fur and towering branching antlers lies curled and sleeping at the base of a massive, shadowy tree. Faded caption text above reads: "They would not stop. They would not rest. They bought us time they could not afford. Now they sleep a sleep with no end at the roots of the World Tree." The Keepers of Umbrasil logo sits in the top left corner.
Gameplay footage of slinging tide pool inhabitants into rings in the sea. Landing perfectly in a ring scores a gold and the critters watching celebrate.
Gameplay of feeding fish in a painterly forest brook; small hearts rise as the fish are fed.
Promotional image for the game Keepers of Umbrasil. A massive ancient tree with a thick, gnarled trunk and sprawling roots fills the frame, its silvery-blue canopy lit by warm golden light and its bark threaded with glowing blue veins. Over the lower half sits a translucent panel holding the gold title "Keepers of Umbrasil," the line "Demo live in Steam Next Fest," and the tagline "May the forest find all who are wild-called."
Mural of Forest Guardians screen from Keepers of Umbrasil. An ornate collection mural framed by gnarled wooden branches woven with vines, honeysuckle, bluebells, and lily of the valley, with a bluebird perched in the upper right. The interior shows a network of intertwined fantasy trees divided into colored regions (icy blue, purple twilight, golden blossom, frosted cave) with empty circular slots for forest guardian portraits. Two slots are filled: a grey cat with glowing red eyes, and a white fluffy dog.

Two cats inside a teal mesh-paneled pet playpen set up in the back of a car. The grey and white cat on top is sitting upright and looking out through the mesh meowing, while the second white and black cat is curled up below.
A crystalline raccoon spirit statue. Its mask and tail rings are glowing golden and it holds a glowing golden stone in its hands.
A magical forest pool reflecting a crescent moon and glowing orb, surrounded by pink and white flowering trees, ferns, and wildflowers. A small rabbit figurine sits at the water's edge beside an open journal. A framed painting and red book rest among the mossy rocks. A single red maple leaf floats in the still waters.
A sunlit and slightly overgrown orchard with stone walls and an iron gate, a magical weasel spirit resting in the foreground, critters scattered through the grass and trees.
A moonlit forest overlooks a misty valley under a milky way sky, with wildflowers in the foreground.
A glowing archway of twisted vines and blue luminescent flowers marks the entrance to a magical forest, a dirt path leading through into sunlit redwoods.
An antlered rabbit peers through a tangle of thorny brambles, a purple pansy tucked behind one ear.
