Winnie's Hole

Winnie's Hole puts you in control of a virus inside Winnie's body. You capture cells, collect resources and explore randomly generated worlds by placing Virus blocks to spread through your host. As you discover new cells, you make gut decisions that direct the adventure.

Evolve your virus

Each run lets you unlock Perks, Mutations and Virus Strains. You refine the virus's primitive form, gain powerful passive effects and unlock new abilities. You can evolve and reshape your tetromino-like Virus blocks to form more powerful combinations in battle, adapting as you discover your host's limitations and how to overcome them.

Explore and battle

Exploration replaces a typical roguelite node map with strategic, turn-based building using Virus blocks. Battles take place by activating your host's brain: each turn, actions are dealt randomly to the Brain board, where you place block shapes to trigger combinations. You can play multiple actions in a single move, making each turn an action combo.

Story and style

The storybook narrative reimagines Winnie in a world of dark science, with horror comedy and gritty art inspired by old-school Nickelodeon and Brothers' Grimm fairytales. The game frames the virus as a symbiotic force, with the aim of mutating its host and surviving together.
