Taproot

A cozy first-person game where you pull thistles, crabgrass and dandelions out of your overgrown yard. Be patient and the weed will be gone for good. But if you rush it, it will snap. One sitting, start to finish, all under an hour.

From the Steam store

You inherited your grandma's house. In her will, she said it's been unattended for years. She mentions in the letter that a strange man will buy the weeds you pull from the yard.

How it works

The weeds have invaded everything from the fountains to the driveway to the abandoned shed that was supposedly never finished.

When you pull a weed, it resists. When it comes out, it comes out with a satisfying pop. Be impatient and the root snaps.

You'll never see the buyer. Use that money to upgrade your tools. At first, it will be slow by hand, but with the right tools the weeds will be cleared in no time.

Pull the last weed and the day ends. Walk your yard and admire it, once again.

What this isn't

No timer. No failure state. Just the steady, meditative task of pulling weeds out of your yard. Under an hour.
