The Game
Forage Friends is a cozy, movement-powered mobile game that uses proven psychological principles to help players build positive habits through gentle, repeatable routines. Your real-world steps nurture a magical garden, strengthen friendships, and unlock heartfelt stories—all wrapped in a wholesome, gamified experience designed to make motivation feel natural, comforting, and fun.
Help Us Grow Forage Friends
Forage Friends is lovingly built by a tiny indie team pouring our hearts into a cozy world for you to explore and grow in. We are fully self-funded, which means every chapter, character moment, and piece of art exists because of the time and resources we invest ourselves.
Indie development is tough, and without publishers or investors, community support is what keeps us going.
If you believe in Forage Friends, supporting us on Patreon is one of the most impactful ways to help. Even a small pledge helps us pay our team, cover tools, and keep development healthy.

We are Pie Trap Studios, an indie studio established during the pandemic of 2020. We are founded by veteran artists of the gaming industry with the goal to create our own games and amazing art! Residing in the Seattle area, we've worked with several other studios, both local and international on a variety of projects, but have yet to call a game our own.
An important goal when setting off on our own to create a studio was to make games that have a real-world positive effect. It doesn't have to be big, but it has to matter to the individual player. Entertainment is great, but we ask ourselves, "Why stop at just entertainment? Can we use the power of gaming to make a positive impact on a player's life?" We hope so!! So why not try?!
We hope that Forage Friends is a great introduction to our brand of beneficial gaming. We hope that people appreciate the consideration we put into thinking about the player's wants and needs, and hope the quality of art and story brings as much happiness as it has for us creating it.
We look forward to bringing you updates on our progress and hope for a successful beta and release in the near future! Please check out our blogs for recent updates and subscribe to our newsletter so you don't miss a thing!
Thank you!
