Buy Garden of Being PC key

Garden of Being is an interactive garden you can return to whenever you choose. You plant flowers and keep a quiet record of your visits, the flowers you chose and, if you want, a line or two of writing beside each one. The game does not analyse or chart these records; the garden itself is the main entry.

Plant a garden

You can design a handmade garden and dedicate it to someone you love, someone who is gone, your cat, or simply to a difficult week. Your garden persists between visits, and you can keep it private or share a code so someone else can enter the same scene and leave a flower beside yours.

Art and sound

Every flower is drawn by hand in oil pastel, with the unevenness and layered colour of the medium. The sounds were recorded in real places over many days, then processed simply and left mostly as found. They include loud squirrels, crickets and bells.

A place to return to

The game is inspired in part by the works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. It was made alone over two years, growing out of work with oil pastel, field recording and code.
