VERDURE

VERDURE is an odd generator of plants and trees! It is a creative sandbox where you can trim branches and experiment with growth controls.

While there is a tutorial with a few objectives to get you started, VERDURE is primarily for open-ended plant design. Whether shaping a small bonsai tree, letting maple branches sprawl freely, or exploring how different settings affect them, you're the artist!

Each plant is generated from a unique seed that can be customized through a wide range of parameters, including trunk thickness, branch curvature, foliage shape and distribution, and color palettes. The original soundtrack, retro visuals and little hands-on growth interactions (like feeding a UFO to grow bigger plants) also give the game its distinctive feel.

You can:

Start from a random seed or design your own through the recipe panel

Trim and prune branches, or let them grow organically

Harvest plants that accumulate value over time and buy collection expansions

Choose combinations of unlocked backgrounds and foregrounds to suit your composition

Purchase additional tools and pots from the shop

Preserve your favorite creations across 50+ save slots, with indicative names like ‘Cactus,’ ‘Pine,’ or ‘Sakura’

VERDURE can be enjoyed in short, fidget-friendly sessions or over longer periods to gradually expand your collection and refine each plant's design.
