How it feels

a relaxing magical gardening simulation where you tend whimsical plants at your own pace

What players say

Players call it a charming but tiny student project that takes under 15 minutes to finish, with beautiful painterly art and animations. There is little to do beyond planting and watering, and the lack of clear goals or a proper game loop disappoints many, though some enjoy the relaxed, whimsical feel.
