Developer Little Lantern, a studio formed by a former The Witcher 3 and Dying Light developer, has announced the cozy work companion game Focus Grove will launch on PC on June 1st, 2026.
Focus Grove is a game that is designed to run alongside your daily work or school tasks, and will keep track of your daily tasks, while also providing rewards for completing them. It also offers way to help you focus, and relax when things become stressful.
When discussing the game, Little Lantern had this to say:
"Crunch and burnout are real things in the gamedev industry, and me, my wife and our friends experienced it heavily. That's why we decided to create a cozy game that will help players manage their work and their lives better, while creating a woodland farm of their dreams."
The free demo is currently available on Steam, with some users already investing more than 1,000 hours of playtime.
To learn more, here is the overview and trailer as provided by the developer.
About:
WELCOME TO FOCUS GROVE
Focus Grove isn’t just a game — it’s your companion for staying mindful, balanced, and productive throughout the day.
Send your Woodlings to grow your farm while you focus on what matters. Use mindful tools to stay centered, ambient sounds to help you focus or unwind, and build a woodland farm that grows with your mood.
WORK OR STUDY WITH NO DISTRACTIONS
Easily focus on your work or studying. Play your favorite ambient track, set your focus timer and just press Start. Don’t worry, while you focus on your tasks, your animal helpers will take care of your farm for you.
GROW YOUR EVERYDAY HABITS
Have you ever had a hard time making good habits stick? Yeah, we have too. Until we designed a Habits Journal — where you can check off your habits with a nice little ‘pop’ every day.
MAKE IT YOUR OWN WITH PROGRESS
Complete your real-life tasks (and daily habits) to unlock cute outfits for your Woodlings and fun customizations for your Farm. Being productive has never been so rewarding!
BUILD A FARM OF YOUR DREAMS
Build a cozy woodland farm that grows with you. Your Woodlings work when you work and rest when you rest — so the progress you make in real life is mirrored by your farm.
KEY FEATURES
- Use built in tools to keep track of your daily habits and real-life tasks — complete them to unlock customizations for your Woodlings and your farm.
- Customize your woodland farm to match your mood — warm and sunny spring? golden autumn, or maybe a colorful shroomy forest?
- Focus Timer. Gameloop sessions follow the proven Pomodoro technique for focus work. Work time: You focus on your tasks while Woodlings get busy building and farming. Break time: Woodlings rest and recharge. You do you.
- Create the perfect focus zone by playing one of the many ambient nature tracks like Forest Spring, Gentle Storm, or even Purring Cat.
- Write in your personal Notebook — whether you want to pour out your thoughts, jot down a great idea, or keep a gratitude journal.
- Visit the Zen Master every day. The Zen Master helps you grow in one of your chosen areas — Productivity, Personal Growth, or Health.
- Unlock cute outfits and crazy new skins for your Woodlings and style them any way you want.
- Plant trees to grow a beautiful grove — each one reflects your focus time. Before you know it, you’ll turn the grove into a lush, thriving forest.
- And finally, together with your woodland helpers build a farm of your dreams - fields full of healthy vegetables and juicy fruits, farm buildings, roads, and cozy places for Woodlings to rest in their spare time.
- But remember to keep your Woodlings happy — don’t overwork them, or they will be too tired to focus and work properly. Sounds familiar? Don’t worry, the Balance Tree will remind you to treat Woodlings (and yourself!) with kindness you all deserve.
