Horticular Build 19333583

Horticular is a calm, charming garden-builder that drops you into a forgotten plot after a troupe of mysterious gnomes summons you to restore it. The heart of the game is low-pressure creation: design and expand a lush diorama garden at your own pace, unlock hundreds of surface types and decorative items, and shape the space into a vegetable patch, wildlife sanctuary, or cozy retreat-whatever fits your playstyle.

Gameplay balances relaxing design with light maintenance and challenges. You attract and care for adorable animals-each with specific habitat needs-manage garden decay, and fend off corruption and mischievous agents sent by a nemesis. A day-night cycle and changing weather aren’t just for atmosphere: weather affects animal behavior, invites threats at night, and brings random events like lightning. Progress comes from upgrading abilities, collecting items and nectar, completing character quests, and using magical gnomish tools (and your own enchanted gloves) to keep the garden thriving.
Narrative and progression are player-driven: quirky characters send letters and tasks that reward story and items, but your choices don’t permanently lock content-you can collect everything over time. The game also supports customization and sharing: rename inhabitants, enter gardener competitions, take photos in camera mode, trade nectar for decorations, and modify the game with accessible data files and an included editor-plus Steam Workshop support for community content.
