Each scene in Cloud Gardens’ six-chapter marketing campaign duties you with bringing life to one in every of its decayed dioramas. At first, you’re given a handful of seeds to sprinkle specifically spots to kick issues off – however as your backyard grows, you’ll unlock extra junk to position round, creating platforms and focal factors to wrap your ecosystem round. The aim in every stage is to utterly flood the surroundings with life – however should you’d reasonably simply potter round in your personal concrete allotment, Cloud Gardens may also supply a totally freeform sandbox mode.

If you’re an everyday Sunday reader, you may recognise Cloud Gardens from a screenshots post back in March. Truth be instructed, it’s been onerous to not put up about it each week a display screen reveals up, so gorgeous are its brutal, overgrown rooftops rising from comforting night mists of all colors. I do fairly like that Cloud Garden isn’t even the one brutalist botany sim on the market, with another unnamed effort popping up earlier this month courtesy of Estonian duo Elina and Johann.

Cloud Gardens is ready to sprout into early entry on Steam later this 12 months.
