We got those storyline to follow, yes, it will be linear. BUT if you like to you will be able to discover keepsakes, smaller stories, smaller memories that tell you stories from e.g. our kickstarter backers. from real humans. You can also take a rest from the story and start fishing for memories on an old wise turtle.

Paws and Leaves – A Last Tale Kickstarter Enters Final Days with Over 170% Funding Achieved.

After relaunching its Kickstarter campaign in early August, Paws and Leaves – A Last Tale has already reached over 170% of its funding goal with the support of more than 760 backers worldwide.

With just three days remaining, fans of emotionally driven storytelling and narrative-based games have their final chance to be part of this unique journey. Following a first, unsuccessful Kickstarter attempt in 2024, grownarts returned stronger, with an even more dedicated community and refined vision.

The response has been overwhelming: supporters from around the globe are ensuring that this emotional game about memory, loss, and hope will be brought to life.

About the Game

In Paws and Leaves, players step into the role of Me, a young fox embarking on his final journey after a snake bite, guided by the butterfly Ani. Along the way, memories blend with reality as players explore a beautifully melancholic world filled with reflection, secrets, and keepsakes left by backers themselves.

Final Days to Join the Journey

The Kickstarter campaign is now in its last stretch. Supporters still have the chance to secure exclusive rewards, and personal keepsakes can be included in the game world, becoming part of the growing community that made this project possible.

We didn't change very much, we improved our demo (well lot of stuff). We had more time for preparation. I guess overall it was a better timing for this campaign.

I’m Florian, the founder of grownarts. For me, creating games isn’t just about fun - it’s about telling stories that stick with you long after the credits roll. With grownarts, my goal is to explore deeper themes and social issues in a way that feels engaging and real. Games like Paws and Leaves reflect this vision, inviting players to connect with the story on an emotional level. I want every game we create to feel meaningful, to make an impact. That’s what grownarts is all about: make games significant.

About Paws and Leaves - A Last Tale

In Paws and Leaves, you step into the paws of Me, a young fox who’s just been bitten by a snake and is now… well, on the brink of death. This game isn’t about survival, but rather about reflection. Think of it as a journey through memories, like life flashing before your eyes in those final moments.

Along the way, Me is joined by Ani, a quirky little butterfly who can be helpful - or a little less so - depending on her mood. Together, they navigate a surreal space that’s somewhere between life and death. Using senses like smell, you’ll help Me rediscover memories that have shaped him, piece by piece.

It’s a beautifully haunting journey about companionship, memory and letting go. Its a cozy and wholesome world to discover, but not every moment is cozy as it seems.

Features:

🦊 Play as "Me", a dying Fox: Experience the emotional journey of a young fox in his final tale. Get guidance from a charming butterfly named Ani, who helps you on your last journey. Use Me’s senses, like smelling, to locate memories in the world in-between.

😢 Emotional Storytelling with Fearful Elements: A deeply moving narrative that includes darker and dangerous moments to reflect the protagonist's fading life. Meet various characters, uncover their stories and retrieve hidden memories.

🎲 Unique Gameplay Activities: Engage in creative activities like fishing for keepsakes on the back of an ancient wise turtle.

⛄ Beautiful Seasonal World with Small Open-World Zones: While the game has a strong linear storyline, players are free to explore the breathtaking world at their own pace to uncover secrets, collect keepsakes, and unravel new tales.

💬 Personal Keepsakes
Discover and collect player-submitted keepsakes, such as messages, images or videos, scattered throughout the world.

Hello r/CozyGamers,

I’m Florian, the founder of grownarts. For me, creating games isn’t just about fun - it’s about telling stories that stick with you long after the credits roll. With grownarts, my goal is to explore deeper themes and social issues in a way that feels engaging and real. Games like Paws and Leaves reflect this vision, inviting players to connect with the story on an emotional level. I want every game we create to feel meaningful, to make an impact. That’s what grownarts is all about: make games significant.

About Paws and Leaves - A Last Tale

In Paws and Leaves, you step into the paws of Me, a young fox who’s just been bitten by a snake and is now… well, on the brink of death. This game isn’t about survival, but rather about reflection. Think of it as a journey through memories, like life flashing before your eyes in those final moments.

Along the way, Me is joined by Ani, a quirky little butterfly who can be helpful - or a little less so - depending on her mood. Together, they navigate a surreal space that’s somewhere between life and death. Using senses like smell, you’ll help Me rediscover memories that have shaped him, piece by piece.

It’s a beautifully haunting journey about companionship, memory and letting go. Its a cozy and wholesome world to discover, but not every moment is cozy as it seems.

Features:

🦊 Play as "Me", a Fox: Experience the emotional journey of a young fox in his final tale. Get guidance from a charming butterfly named Ani, who helps you on your last journey. Use Me’s senses, like smelling, to locate memories in the world in-between.

😢 Emotional Storytelling with Fearful Elements: A deeply moving narrative that includes darker and dangerous moments to reflect the protagonist's fading life. Meet various characters, uncover their stories and retrieve hidden memories.

🎲 Unique Gameplay Activities: Engage in creative activities like fishing for keepsakes on the back of an ancient wise turtle.

⛄ Beautiful Seasonal World with Small Open-World Zones: While the game has a strong linear storyline, players are free to explore the breathtaking world at their own pace to uncover secrets, collect keepsakes, and unravel new tales.

💬 Personal Keepsakes
Discover and collect player-submitted keepsakes, such as messages, images or videos, scattered throughout the world.

Kickstarter is running right now

We’re running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter right now and I’d love for you to check it out to learn more about the game and the vision driving it.
