How it feels
Terra Nil feels like a calm, meditative puzzle where you carefully restore a barren landscape to life and then quietly erase all trace of your work, leaving a pristine ecosystem behind.

What players say
Players praise the concept and relaxing atmosphere, but many hit a wall with mandatory animal photography that demands obscure happiness scores. The lack of mid-level saves and one-way decisions force restarts. Some also report persistent bugs and memory leaks.
