The choice is yours.
You are the maintanence man.
You must maintain.


Strange and Surreal World: Your next door neighbor turns her apartment into a pond for her love of frogs, another transformed their place into a church devoted to blasphemy and a strange whispering machine whirs away in the basement. You never know what to expect when you knock on a neighbor's door. Exploration and Secrets: The world changes and evolves as you play and is shaped by the choices you make. The deeper you explore, the more secrets you'll uncover.
Collectables: As you explore the complex and it's surrounding areas, you'll uncover oddly shaped sponges that each have their own lively personality.
Unique Art Style: Warped perspectives, limited color palletes, original music and changing scenery all play a hand in shaping the strange experiences you'll discover behind closed doors.
Metaphysical story and multiple playthroughs: WOODROT wears it's Lynchian inspirations on it's sleeve giving players the sense that there's always more than what's being said. The deeper you go, the more lore you'll discover. There are no easy answers.
Passion Project: The entire game is made by two brothers. The artist and the programmer.
