The moment you have been waiting for has arrived: Grounded's Early Access is live and you can now explore the backyard!

In Grounded, you find that you have been shrunken down to the size of an ant, and the backyard has turned into a place where the mundane has become fantastical! You will need to gather, craft, explore, build, fight, and survive the backyard either solo or with up to three friends!

We look forward to hearing your feedback while you explore the backyard. You can send us feedback anytime while playing the game by accessing the "Feedback" option in the main menu. You are also welcome to join our Discord community[discord.gg] so you can share your suggestions and feedback in order to help shape the development of the game!
