6 itemsAbout the Game
Not every plant in this forest is friendly. Some drink moonlight. Some escaped the sea. One will absolutely try to bite your customers. You're the bear who sells them anyway.
Plants & Paws is a cozy shop-management sim about raising strange, living plants from seedling to bloom, and running the little shop in the great oak where the whole forest comes to buy them.
Care is a craft
Water on time, prune overgrowth with a steady hand, sell at the perfect moment. A flawlessly raised plant is worth four of a neglected one. Gentle to learn, and mastery is where the coins are.
Every plant is a character
Species across four families: Cozyleaves, Spikes, Tentacles, Mushrooms. Each with its own clock, temper and needs. Some want water twice a day. Some sulk in bright light. Some bloom only when the moon is out. You learn them like pets, not crops.
The Verdant Book
Part bestiary, part diary. Every species has a page, and a secret note that only unlocks after you have grown it enough times yourself. Knowledge is earned, never bought.
Make it yours
Pots, colours, shelves, and hats for the bear. Build a shop that looks like you.
The forest comes to you
Serve your regulars: a potion-brewing cat, a gentleman goose buying flowers for his wife, a grumpy mole who argues about everything and comes back anyway. Fill their orders, haggle if you dare, and earn their hearts — and their stories.
Cozy for real
No combat, no rent, no failure timers. The only thing that can go wrong is forgetting to water, and even that is just a quiet lesson.
Plus: there is a frog. You can press him. The game counts how many times.
