Tending

A cozy game about houseplants.

You start with a small sunny room, three plants by the window and a cat. What it turns into is up to you.

Find the right spot

The sun moves across the room during the day, and the weather changes how much light gets in. Every plant wants something different. A monstera likes bright, steady light. A snake plant is happy almost anywhere. Pick a plant up and carry it around, and the room shows you how well it would do in each spot.

Water, repot, repeat

Water your plants with a watering can. Move them into bigger pots when they outgrow the old ones. Nothing ever dies. A plant in the wrong spot just grows slowly and tells you what's wrong, so you can move it.

Grow more plants

Plants grow a leaf at a time over the in-game days. Once one is big enough, you can take a cutting and root it in a jar of water, pull off a baby plant, or split a crowded pot in two, depending on the plant. Keep the new ones or sell them for coins.

Decorate

Spend your coins on 36 kinds of plants and more than 250 pieces of furniture, pots and decor. Move, turn and resize anything. Hang pictures on the walls. Add more rooms when you run out of space.

There's a cat

It naps in the sun, wanders over to see what you're doing, and doesn't mind wearing a collar or a scarf.

No pressure

There are a few goals if you want something to work toward, but nothing expires and there are no streaks to keep up. Pause or speed up time whenever you like. Walk around your home up close, or use photo mode to take pictures. Calm music and an in-game radio play in the background.
