Verdure

Verdure is a creative sandbox for generating and designing plants and trees. You can shape branches, adjust growth controls and experiment with plant designs, from a small bonsai to a maple with freely spreading branches. A tutorial with a few objectives introduces the game, but its focus is open-ended creation.

Create and shape plants

Each plant starts from a unique seed, which you can customize through a wide range of parameters, including trunk thickness, branch curvature, foliage shape and distribution, and color palettes. Start from a random seed or create one in the recipe panel, then trim and prune branches or let them grow organically. Hands-on growth interactions include feeding a UFO to grow bigger plants.

Build your collection

Plants accumulate value over time, and you can harvest them to buy collection expansions. The shop also offers additional tools and pots. Choose combinations of unlocked backgrounds and foregrounds to compose your scenes, and preserve favorite creations across more than 50 save slots, with indicative names such as ‘Cactus,’ ‘Pine’ and ‘Sakura.’

A distinctive feel

Retro visuals and an original soundtrack accompany the plant-growing interactions. You can play in short, fidget-friendly sessions or spend longer periods expanding your collection and refining each plant’s design.
