Farming life-sim
Inherit a crooked little farm beside a river full of otters. Grow heirloom crops, restore the old mill, and help a sleepy valley town remember its harvest festival.

Small studio · Big harvests
Slow games for warm evenings.
Maple Otter Studio makes cozy farming, cooking and life-sim games — the kind you play with a blanket, a mug of something, and nowhere you need to be. Plant things. Cook things. Make friends with a grumpy goose.

A pocket-sized patch that grows while you're away. Breed silly-shaped pumpkins, decorate your fence, and trade seeds with friends. No timers that nag you.

The studio almanac
— how we like to make things🌱 Spring · Plant
Every game starts as a tiny paper prototype and a question: what would feel nice to do for an hour?
☀️ Summer · Tend
We playtest early and often with our community, then quietly fix the things that made people sigh.
🍁 Autumn · Harvest
We launch when it's ready, not before — and keep watering our games with free updates.
❄️ Winter · Rest
No crunch. Cozy games should come from a cozy studio. That's the whole recipe.
About the otters
We're a small, independent team of artists, programmers, writers and one very enthusiastic sound designer who records real kettles. We started Maple Otter Studio because we wanted games that feel like a Sunday afternoon.
Our games have no fail states that punish you for taking a break, no pressure to log in daily, and plenty of room to just wander around and pet things.
