Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a new update on the way, but I'm even more excited about a brand new, debut adventure from an indie studio. I'm talking about The Regreening, a cozy Animal Crossing-esque title about restoring the world, one plant at a time.
The Regreening, from Positive Impact Games, is shaping up to be a beautiful game about the hopeful side of exploring a post-apocalyptic world. Players will be tasked with growing plants and creating thriving ecosystems, creating an upcycling hub, and befriending the world's spirits and animals. And yes, you can hug all the animals.
Like many cozy games, The Regreening is wholesome on the surface, with an impactful message under its soft outer layer. Self-described as a "cozy soilpunk sim," The Regreening sends players on an adventure to restore nature to a world that's become a wasteland, a la Fallout.
In this game, the world is literally your garden. Playing as the human Viri, players will cultivate and restore various seeds and animals, recycle and craft with junk left behind by her predecessors, harvest fruits, and even befriend the spirits that roam the lands.
The Regreening is made with cozy gamers in mind,...
