Slash, poke, and blast your way through a backyard overrun with stinging nettles. Armed with makeshift stick weapons, reclaim the garden like you're a kid again. Step past the old mysterious gate into a place best left undisturbed – but make sure you're back before dinnertime... in one piece.
Nettle Slasher
SteamNettle Slasher is a simple straightforward slasher about clearing a summer garden that's been completely taken over by stinging nettles. You play as a teenager on vacation, armed with all kinds of makeshift weapons made from sticks: melee and ranged, just like in the backyard games of childhood.
There’s no grand story, no complicated systems. Just grab a stick and start cutting down weeds.
It’s the kind of game you play when you want to turn your brain off for a while. Whether you're in for ten minutes or an hour, the goal is simple: take down the nettles, explore the garden, and maybe step past the old gate into something a bit darker.
But make sure you're back before dinnertime!
