Play The Garden now. Follow Trenchworks next.
The Garden is the first playable World Key: a browser preview where you tend plants, work with Companions, and step into the shared account layer without pretending the full RPG is finished.
The main game remains the long-term shared-world RPG spine. TWB Trenchworks is the next standalone project under the same banner, built around factory logistics feeding an automated trench war.
Start with what is playable
The site now leads with proof: one playable Garden, one active Trenchworks prototype, and the main game spine they both orbit.

The Game
Dungeon runs, crafting, creature growth, and inventory form the core game center.
