My Garden

One snail under a leaf. A garden that runs itself.

My Garden is a calm ecosystem builder. You start by keeping one garden snail alive on a bare patch of soil - shade, moisture, food - and end with a biodiverse garden that sustains itself without you. Soil, plants, insects, weather and a drought are simulated; the Gardenpedia explains every creature you meet.

• All five phases: the small hunters, the garden, and the Living Garden - the hands-off test of what you built.
• Every habitat, plant and species; field notes, events and the full Gardenpedia.

How to play

Water, shelter, plant, mulch - then wait and watch. The snail's panel tells you what it feels; the phase goal tells you what counts as done. Speed up time with 4x and 16x.
