Verdreamia

Verdreamia is a gardening game with no fail states or timers, and nothing to defend while you are away. Tend your gardens when you visit; if you leave a dream unattended for a month, it waits for you, a little sleepy.

Places to plant

Choose from 12 places to begin: a rolling meadow, mountain meadow, verdant field, river valley, mystic dune, tropical shore, raised beds, greenhouse, Victorian conservatory, great room, blank canvas or a garden of pods drifting past a window of stars. More than 40 plant species include daisies, foxgloves and moonbells, which glow only after dark.

Plants and worlds

Each plant grows from a seed and develops its own history of care, rather than being placed as a prefab. No two specimens are alike, and your plants regrow exactly as they were on any machine, forever. Every dream belongs to one of two worlds, and you can move it between them whenever you like. Golden hush has soft, rounded shapes and long honey light; its blooms glow like small lanterns as the day fades. Classic is the uncanny garden of your dreams.

Paintings and journal

Frame any view to turn it into a painting for your gallery wall. The gallery is the room you return to and a record of what your gardens looked like on the days you loved them most. Eight art styles, from impressionism to old masters, can restyle a whole dream at once or enhance its gallery framing.

Instead of quests, the journal records what you notice rather than what you complete. Press a flourishing bloom to keep its cultivar. You can also send a friend a postcard of a painting; the whole dream travels inside the picture, and they can walk through it.

A quiet atmosphere

The game features generative music, rain on greenhouse panes and a sun you can pin wherever you like.
