Short description
Slash, poke, and blast your way through a backyard overrun with stinging nettles. Armed with makeshift stick weapons, reclaim the garden like you're a kid again. Step past the old mysterious gate into a place best left undisturbed – but make sure you're back before dinnertime... in one piece.
About this game
Take Back the Backyard Nettle Slasher is a simple straightforward slasher about clearing a summer garden that's been completely taken over by stinging nettles. You play as a teenager on vacation, armed with all kinds of makeshift weapons made from sticks: melee and ranged, just like in the backyard games of childhood. There’s no grand story, no complicated systems. Just grab a stick and start cutting down weeds. It’s the kind of game you play when you want to turn your brain off for a while. Whether you're in for ten minutes or an hour, the goal is simple: take down the nettles, explore the garden, and maybe step past the old gate into something a bit darker. But make sure you're back before dinnertime! Key Features • A wide range of stick-based weapons From simple branches to blasters, every weapon is imagined and improvised. Each one feels a little different. Try melee or ranged tools depending on your style. • A backyard turned overgrown battlefield Move through tall nettles, blocked paths and forgotten corners. The garden is dense, messy, and full of surprises. • No pressure, no grind No missions, no timers, no scoring. It’s a game you can pick up anytime and play at your own pace. • Optional exploration You can stay in the safe parts of the yard, or step through the old gate and see what’s beyond. • Built around childhood imagination It's a simple fantasy: hitting plants with a stick and calling it a mission. Now you can do it without leaving the house. Why Play Nettle Slasher? • Instant, satisfying gameplay No long intros, no tutorials. Jump in and start cutting weeds. • Fits into short play sessions Perfect for breaks, after work, or whenever you need to zone out for a bit. • Unique and lighthearted tone Not heroic, not epic. Just fun and grounded in a familiar feeling. • Low system requirements Fast to install, quick to launch, easy to run. • Made by a small indie team Built with care and focus on keeping things simple and enjoyable.
