The cooperative gardening game supports up to six players and is planned for release on PC via Steam in 2027. Players work together to restore the neglected garden of a character named Lady Marilyn, tilling soil, planting vegetation, and unlocking new areas, plants, and tools as they progress. The game also includes exploration elements, with hidden collectibles and secrets to discover, and an NPC-driven story that unfolds over time. Multiplayer features in-game voice chat, and the tone is deliberately casual: players can blow trumpets, hit each other with shovels, or simply fool around at their own pace. 'Pottering' is Future Friends Games' first self-developed title; the company previously published titles such as 'CloverPit', 'SUMMERHOUSE', and 'On-Together!'. Development began in 2025, led by developer Adam Westerman and producer Emma Park.","why_it_matters":"The announcement marks a publisher known for curating cozy indie titles moving into internal development, with a debut that emphasizes unstructured social play over goal-driven mechanics.","published_at":"2026-05-28T20:15:27.000Z","source_count":2,"sources":["Denfaminicogamer","Game Spark"],"citations":[{"source":"Denfaminicogamer","title":"Cooperative Relaxed Gardening Game 'Pottering' for Up to 6 Players Announced, Where You Can Blow Trumpets, Hit Each Other with Shovels, and Spend Leisurely Time with Like-Minded Friends.
