About this game

Available exclusively for Netflix members.

Revitalize a barren wasteland. Plant sprawling forests, purify soil and clean polluted oceans to turn a ravaged environment into an ecological paradise.

Transform a lifeless landscape into a thriving, vibrant ecosystem. Turn dead soil into fertile grassland and create the ideal habitat for animals to call home. Then recycle your buildings and leave no trace that you were there.

Features:

• Dive into a reverse city builder: Use advanced eco-technology to purify the soil, creating plains, wetlands, beaches, rainforests, wildflowers and more — then efficiently recycle everything you've built, leaving the environment pristine for its new animal inhabitants.
• Explore different maps every time: Procedurally generated landscapes mean no two play-throughs will ever be the same. Plan your build around randomized, challenging and unpredictable terrain, including snaking rivers, mountains, lowlands and oceans.
• Experience tranquility: Lush hand-painted environments, relaxing music and an atmospheric ambient soundscape make this game a peaceful, meditative experience. When you're done, use Appreciate mode to bask in the natural beauty of the ecosystem you have restored.

- Game by Free Lives and 24bit.

Ratings and reviews

Wonderful game!!! I am so happy there is a game that actually encourages biorestoration (and not a game made to push ads). There are no ads at all here. I did find a bug, though: Undo action right after placing an observatory (then initiating a scan) caused the game to think the observatory was still active, graying out the option to re-place it.

I experienced very few bugs and the ones I did were minor UI things that had no effect on the game. Game is a great concept of building things up to grow back the environment then breaking it back down to leave the level in a natural state. I loved it. It doesn't hold your hand and guide you through every little step, you need to use trial and error to see how the different tools work with each other and change the level conditions. I would love to see more levels and even a multi-biome one.

Few bugs, undo helps. Camera control needs work. Could do with a nudge control and confirm buttons for placement. Truly random map leads to some horrible layouts sometimes - I had the island level and maybe 20-30 single spaces of ocean to start, brutal. The stage reset doesn't take too long though. All round I liked it. I'm sad it's got such a low rating because they probably won't expand on the idea.
