Little Woody demo out now — play as a sentient tree in a short 2D puzzle (Steam aims Q2)

PC Gamer’s Elie says a free demo of Little Woody is available now, offering a short 2D point-and-click puzzle experience that the writer found charming if brief.

In the demo you wake up in an abandoned test facility, climb out of a broken test tube and explore as a strange, walking, thinking sentient tree with no instructions—just buttons, half-ripped posters and environmental puzzles to work out.

The standout challenge in the demo has you construct a bionic arm using water, a half-broken processing line and some maths; Elie describes the puzzles as relatively straightforward and intuitive, solvable by trial and error.

Though the demo is very short—“one of the shortest” Elie has played—it left them wanting more and convinced them to wishlist the full game.

What happens next remains unclear: the Steam page lists no firm release date but says the developer is aiming for a Q2 release this year.
