Garden Story

Garden Story is a game about rebuilding a village in The Grove, a world inhabited by fruits and vegetables. You play as Concord, the Grove’s newest guardian, and travel through its four seasons while restoring the town and uncovering its hidden past.

Rebuild the Grove

Complete daily requests and favors to defend, restore and improve the town. Care for garden plots, gather resources, curate libraries, upgrade your tools and rebuild structures. As you help the community, you encourage its inhabitants to support one another, and can ask them for help in return.

Explore and uncover

The Grove has four distinct regions, with puzzles and Rot to face in especially infested locations. More formidable Rot live in the depths of these areas. As you progress, you unlock memories that let Concord draw on the power of their predecessors.

Tools and keepsakes

Use a variety of items to gather resources, grow gardens, fend off Rot and solve puzzles, as well as to play occasional musical interludes. You can also collect hats and backpacks in every village. The island has catchy music and a cast of characters with distinct personalities.

Play at your own pace

Sessions can be as short as 12 minutes, or you can spend longer rebuilding the Grove. If you want to progress through the story without combat’s challenges, you can turn on “perish prevention” in the gameplay options. The setting can also help you get past difficult enemies or boss fights.
