Sporebound

Thank you for playing Sporebound!

Sporebound is a short exploration game about a stag beetle named Loam who wakes from a long sleep to find his world quietly decaying. Navigate the garden and the tunnels beneath it, piece together what grew in the dark while you slept, and decide what comes next. A quiet game about loss, complicity, and the things we do for reasons we don't yet understand.

Controls: WASD to move. E to interact. Move through cut scenes with E.

There are two endings

Everything created by Praisephil unless noted below.

Sporebound was made for the Gwinnett County Public Library Learning Labs Game Jam 2026, theme: Growth and Decay.
