Winter Burrow is a cozy woodland survival game. Explore, gather resources, craft tools, knit warm sweaters, bake pies and meet the locals! In Winter Burrow, you play a mouse who returns from the big city to find their childhood home in ruins. To make matters worse, your Aunt (who was supposed to be looking after it) has gone missing. Restore your broken-down childhood burrow to its former glory so you can relax in front of the fireplace. Brave the elements and journey out into the frozen wilderness to collect vital resources for both yourself and your new home.

Beeps is a collection game where the whole world is a field guide waiting to be filled out. Point your phone at any barcode — groceries, books, concert tickets, that one mystery can at the back of the pantry — and a unique creature appears, pulled out of thin air and tied to what you scanned, where you were, and what the weather was doing that afternoon. HOW IT WORKS • Scan. Open the Scan tab, point at any barcode. Hear the beep. • Discover. A creature is generated with its own name, stats, lore, and tribe. • Collect. Every scan becomes a card in your field guide — see where you caught it, when, and what the weather was like. SIX TRIBES • Wisp — organic, forest-soft • Hollow — mechanical, quiet • Drift — cosmic, ethereal • Bloom — floral, healing • Fused — hybrid, stitched • Veil — shadow, unknown FRIENDS & TRADES Add friends by username to see each other's collections. Bump phones with a friend to craft a brand-new creature that remembers it was born between you. Gift a favorite away without asking anything back. NO GRIND, NO ADS, NO IAP No stamina bar. No pay-to-play. No banner ads. No global marketplace, no bidding wars. Beeps is just going about your day, pointing your phone at little barcodes, and seeing what shows up. PRIVACY-FIRST Beeps never uploads your camera feed — barcodes are detected on-device. Scans generate a coarse neighborhood-sized zone, never your precise location.
