A storybook Norse-inspired city builder set in an atmospheric world. From a handful of settlers and a single clearing, carve out a life of comfort, prepare for the weight of winter, and shape a humble beginning into a thriving settlement shaped by the lives within it.

Establish your foothold and shape a wild clearing into a place of warmth and comfort. From the first tree felled to the rise of homesteads, your settlement grows through careful planning and the lives of its people. Develop a production-driven economy where every resource has its place, from fields of grain and fresh bread to honey, mead, and crafted goods. As your village expands, it begins to stand for something, forming trade relationships and building a reputation across distant realms. Seasons shape the rhythm of life. Work changes with the weather, routines adapt, and preparation becomes key as winter approaches. At the same time, faith quietly influences the world, through offerings, blessings, and forces that may reveal themselves in unexpected ways.

Establish your foothold and nurture it into a living settlement. From the first tree felled to the rising smokes of the homesteads, shape the land and turn a wild clearing into a place of warmth and comfort for your settlers.

From fields of rye and barley to the warmth of fresh bread, from honey gathered to mead poured. Sheep and goats are tended, lavender drifts through the air, and each part of the settlement plays its role. A well-run settlement depends on balance, flow, and building with purpose.

As your settlement prospers, it begins to stand for something. Fine clothes or casks of mead, each choice leaves its mark. Trade flows across waters, ties are forged, and what you produce carries greater value the further it travels. What you trade shapes the name you earn.

Life in Thveit changes with the year. Prepare for winter, watch routines shift with the seasons, and tend to settlers who follow their own days, gathering in the mead hall and sharing stories by the fire. And sometimes, a cat might quietly claim a home of its own.
Winter Cats Studios is a small indie team crafting storybook-inspired, atmospheric games that feel cozy and relaxed yet stay engaging. We are three makers across development and art, building the kind of worlds we love to play in ourselves. We enjoy the whole journey of making a game: ideas, brainstorming, wireframing, building, testing, and revising with our players and community. Through this hands-on process we shape thoughtful systems, warm aesthetics, and details that bring each place to life. Our goal is simple. We create experiences where you can slow down, sink in, and get happily lost, while still finding depth when you want it.
