  • Devlog June 2026 - 12 June 2026

    Hello everyone!We feel like the year just started and now May is already here. It’s incredible how fast the last few months have flown by. Sunny weeks lie ahead of us, and even though it’s raining while I’m writing these lines, we are very happy at the moment! And we have some news to share. 🙂What we have to report:We’re receiving funding – and getting more time!What makes a swamp?Do we need a map?🎮We’re receiving funding - and getting more time!At the beginning of the year, we applied for production funding for Rootbound. At the end of March, we received the wonderful news that our application was accepted! 🥳 Here is a report from Gameswirtschaft (German) that was published in this context.This funding opens up new possibilities for us to make Rootbound even better and allows us to implement even more of our ideas without compromising the quality of the game.However, anyone familiar…

  • Devlog January 2026 - 29 January 2026

    Hey everyone! 2026 is now almost a month old and has greeted us here in Germany with quite a lot of snow. And what could be better in weather like this than building a snowman, then snuggling into a blanket, and working on your dream game? 😉What we can report on:Too linear… or too open?Let it burn!How to optimize open levels?Into the swamp🤔 Too linear… or too open?In the months leading up to Gamescom, we focused primarily on our demo. We wanted to use it to test how we can best introduce players to the concept of Rootbound. The positive feedback on-site and during playtests on our Discord showed us that we have found a good way to do this.Due to the relatively short playtime of the demo, however, we were not able to feature some systems to the extent we would have liked. These were primarily the effects of the day-night cycle and the dangers associated with the night. The many tutoria…

  • Devlog October 2025 - 24 October 2025

    Hey everyone! It’s been a few months since our last devlog, so we wanted to send out another little sign of life. 😊A lot has happened since then:Gamescom recapA new name for PackyWishlistsGamescom Recap As you probably know, Gamescom is one of the most important events on the calendar for any game studio - especially for one based in Germany. So we packed our things, headed to Cologne, Germany, spent a week sleeping on air mattresses in our artist André’s living room (luckily he lives there!), and showed off our game!From Wednesday to Sunday, visitors at Gamescom could play Rootbound in Hall 10.2 and give us direct feedback at our booth. We not only managed to win over new players but also meet many of you who simply stopped by to say hi - which made us incredibly happy! 😊Besides exhibiting the game, networking was high on our agenda. We were able to connect with other studios and pub…

Short description

About this game

A physics-based action adventure about a plantling’s quest to save its home from a mysterious blight. Equipped with your sentient backpack, you venture into a broken world. Meet lost souls, solve ancient puzzles, fight dangerous monsters, and uncover the secrets of a long-forgotten civilization. EXPLORE THE WORLD Every corner of the handcrafted island of Akara is filled with secrets and activities. Learn what happened to the ancient civilization that once ruled the land, and make use of their lost technology. Solve puzzles to obtain powerful weapons and valuable upgrades - they will prove useful for the challenges that lie ahead. A LIVING BACKPACK Your backpack is much more than a simple storage for items and materials. As a sentient, but silent companion, it has a mind of its own and aids you on your journey by collecting items and tossing them to you when needed – that is, if it’s in the mood. But be careful: enemies might notice its living nature and turn their attacks on it. BRIGHTEN YOUR PATH Crystals can be found everywhere on Akara and are essential to build campfires and torches. Campfires allow you to rest, recover, and use gathered materials to prepare for the challenges ahead. Torches shine light in dark and unexplored areas and are even rumored to give you helpful magical powers. BEWARE THE RAIN When traveling through the night unprotected, the rain will come – said to be the source of the mysterious blight plaguing your home. Only the light of torches and campfires can shield you from its touch. Continuing through the rain is unwise and dangerous. SURVIVE THE VOID During your travels, you’ll encounter dangerous enemies and mysterious characters who have found ways to endure the vile rain. Yet, many of the friendlier ones would surely accept the help of a resourceful traveler like you. Speak with them and decide for yourself if their cause is worth your time and support.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $0.00
  • Highest observed: $0.00

Rootbound's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $0.00, the highest is $0.00, and the first visible tracked price is $0.00. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Rootbound's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.00, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.00. The latest run records $0.00 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $0.00
  • Current list price: $0.00
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Rootbound at $0.00 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
