In “Tiny Garden” you slip into the role of a deity who fills a deserted planet with life.

A small but great Garden

In each game run, you can explore a new world. On an empty space, a garden made up of all sorts of plants forms over the course of the game. The plants have different functions. If you plant a tree, you can further increase your leaflings. If you plant a flower, you can earn points to buy new plants. Some can also help protect your leaf creatures from evil spirits. At night, these spirits appear and head towards the only light source where the leaflingslie down to sleep.

In the world of “Tiny Garden,” there are many creatures and secrets to discover. Not every solution will be immediately revealed to you, but you must interact with the environment yourself and figure out how the world works.

A standout feature of the game is undoubtedly its unique art style, which makes the entire game appear as if hand-drawn on white paper. The sound design also impresses with a cozy atmosphere, with acoustic instruments such as flute, piano, and guitar taking center stage.

The game creates a cozy gaming experience with a combination of cute graphics and strate- gic gameplay elements that invites you to linger.
