Beneath the Tall Grass

Beneath roots, inside abandoned flowerpots, and among the countless treasures scattered throughout the garden, tiny creatures known as Pebbins build their homes. Curious, resourceful, and endlessly imaginative, they see wonder where others see only ordinary things. A forgotten teacup can become the center of a thriving village. An old marble might be believed to have fallen from the stars. A simple path through the grass can feel like a journey into the unknown. Beneath the Tall Grass is a cozy solo journaling RPG about guiding a small Pebbin village as it grows, changes, and slowly becomes a place filled with stories of its own. Your village begins with only a handful of residents, a few simple homes, and plenty of room to grow. As new Pebbins arrive, discoveries reshape the community, local legends take root, and distant regions of the garden gradually reveal themselves. Beyond the familiar paths lies a vast world waiting to be explored. Travel through flower-filled meadows, hidden ponds, windswept dunes formed from a child's sandbox, towering greenhouse jungles, and an ancient birdhouse high above the garden floor. New regions unlock as your village grows, each offering new discoveries, visitors, mysteries, and stories. The mysterious Giants who live beyond the grass constantly shape life in unexpected ways. Strange sounds in the distance, forgotten objects, enormous footprints, and unexplained changes remind the Pebbins how much of the garden remains unknown. Create memorable Pebbins.
