About the Game

From little seeds grow big forrests! Plant trees, spread your roots and explore the underground in this cute and relaxing small-town sim. Use the forest to improve the life of your neighbours, find hidden treasures underground and collect tons of trees and animals from around the world!

GROW


Find a good patch of soil and sprout! Select the right tree for the job and explore the underground, collecting water, minerals and fossils along the way.
You could even clean up the soil from nasty pollutants while you're down there!

HARVEST

Cut your trees to get wood, or let them grow and wait for fruits! Use the ecosystem to your advantage and improve your harvests day after day!

IMPROVE


Use your forrest to better the lives of your animal neighbours! Grow your town, unlock new building and activities, talk to your fellow townsfolk and try to help them!

TRAVEL

Travel to different biomes with unique challenges (arid desert, frozen mountain, polluted city...) and discover unique new trees and animals!
