Relax and immerse yourself in Dream Garden, a cozy simulation game about building perfect Japanese zen garden dioramas with lily-speckled ponds, trees, bridges, and more. Just sit back, de-stress and build to your heart’s content.
Choose from a range of trees, bushes, stones, flowers to more to turn your garden into a lush natural paradise. Arrange each item individually or paint them into the landscape using the brush tool.
Change the landscape to your tastes: raise hills, dig ponds, channel rivers, and fill your garden with sand, grass or pebbles. Use man-made decorations like lamps and bridges to tie everything together.
Use the rake tool to trace stunning patterns into the sand and pebbles, just like a real life Japanese zen garden. Combine tactility, meditation and art into a delightful creative experience.
Use detailed customization to change the seasons, the time of day, the weather, and more. Adjust the level of precipitation and discover the beauty of ‘intermediate’ seasons – transporting your garden to early autumn mornings or late winter snowfall.
We created Dream Garden in the hopes of offering a refuge from the stress of day to day life. Immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere of the garden and create to your heart’s content.
