About the Game

Cultivate what matters. Cut away the rest.

Prune is a love letter to trees–a puzzle game about cultivating growth and the joy of letting go. Grow and shape your tree into the sunlight while avoiding the dangers of a hostile world. Bring life to a forgotten landscape and uncover a story hidden deep beneath the soil.

  • Elegant simplicity - click and drag to plant your tree. Then, as it quickly grows before your eyes, prune away unwanted branches. Bloom enough flowers to complete each level.

  • A meditation - an antidote to today's overstimulated, always-on world. Take a deep breath, stay awhile.

  • Timeless story - explore the evolving dance between civilization and nature, seen through the quiet eyes of trees

  • Respects your time - a focused 1–2 hour experience designed to stay with you long after it ends

  • Now on PC - experience every branch, bloom, and abstract landscape in full-screen detail, where every level is a piece of art. Enjoy the rich soundscape, featuring a beautifully orchestrated score by Kyle Preston.

  • Deeper roots – finished the main story? Uncover additional challenges, for those who seek more.
