About the Game

Build a garden one card at a time in this cozy, contemplative puzzle game.

Every card interacts with others in delightful ways. Discover combinations, shape your space, and grow a garden that reflects your imagination.

Use the cards as seeds, tools, and creatures to craft tranquil gardens.

Place a koi pond to water nearby trees, set butterflies loose to pollinate flowers, or combine elements for whimsical, fantastical effects. Each level’s deck is different, so learning card interactions and planning your layout are part of the joy. The game blends gentle, simple puzzles and the discovery of how different cards interact with a relaxed, meditative atmosphere.

Based on East Asian gardens and aesthetics (easthetics?), atmosphere is just as important as gameplay. Crafted melodies sync with the growth of the plants. I hope you enjoy it.
