About the Game

Welcome to Zen Village, a peaceful yet demanding survival strategy game where minimalist pixel art meets deep resource management. High up in the misty mountain peaks, a community of pandas looks to you to carve out a thriving home across the changing seasons.

Manage your villagers' needs, build intricate production lines, and prepare your settlement before the bitter winter frost arrives.

Key Features

  • The Four-Season Cycle: Guide your village through vibrant Spring, bountiful Summer, golden Autumn, and deadly Winter. Every season brings unique challenges to your crop yields and energy consumption.

  • Analog UI & Minimalist Design: Keep track of time, weather, temperature, and panda morale using an immersive, tactile interface built with clocks, dials, and clean sliders.

  • Deep Resource Chains: Transform raw materials—turn raw logs into planks at the lumber mill, harvest rice terraces, and brew calming teas to keep your pandas happy and efficient.

  • Panda Workforce Management: Assign pandas to specialized jobs like farming, brewing, and construction. Balance their hunger, energy, and happiness so your village runs smoothly.

  • Survive the Frost: Winter is the ultimate test. Manage your firewood reserves, insulate your hearth huts, and ensure your village has enough food stockpiled before the blizzards lock down the mountain.
