A strategic and serene yet tense tree-growing simulation where you carefully manage resources to survive harsh winters and bear fruit.

What players say
Players enjoy the cheerful narrator and the relaxing, turn-based tree growth, but they note the gameplay becomes repetitive after a few hours and relies heavily on random mutations. The game also suffers from crashes when the tree grows large, and some players find the challenge frustratingly luck-dependent.
