About the Game

Experience the life of a plant in a calm, atmospheric exploration game about growth, responsibility, and the long-term impact of humans' actions on our environment.

Set in a living, reactive world shaped by procedural systems, VIVID invites you to slow down. Observe how plants grow, how ecosystems evolve, and how even small decisions can leave lasting traces. Ecological responsibility and long-term consequences are central themes – mechanically and narratively.

DIVIDER: Play at your own pace!

There is no rush, no constant pressure – only space for curiosity, reflection and meaningful interaction with nature. You can pause at any time to take well considered decisions – or just to enjoy the scenery. But be careful, every action is permanent, as there is no way to turn back time.

DIVIDER: Adjust your metabolism!

Use metabolism points to refine your resource intake & production in relation to the selected biome. Each environment offers unique challenges to overcome and varying resource availabilities to adjust to – a diverse and mixed forest differs a lot from a smog-ridden metropolitan city.

DIVIDER: Specialize yourself!

Decide wisely on which paths to specialize yourself in. Every plant comes with a different skill tree resembling it’s unique strengths & qualities in real nature. Enhance your abilities and unlock skills on multiple paths like water-, and resource-intake, photosynthesis or producing defensive pesticides.

DIVIDER: React immediately!

Random events demand immediate action through the skills you unlock. Correct use and good timing will be key to your survival. The events you come across can be either naturally occurring, like rain, drought and insects – or might be caused by human influence.
