The gentle and rewarding process of nurturing new life, from the smallest seed to the cutest critter, is at the heart of a brand-new cozy farm sim that has just bloomed on Xbox and PC. Fancy taking a trip to CritterGarden?
A relaxing adventure where you breed, feed, and collect a menagerie of adorable creatures, has launched via Minjonia Studios is now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC for £8.39, and comes with full Xbox Play Anywhere support.
A Garden of Discovery
Prepare to create unique gardens, discover new life by evolving your critters, and complete your very own “Critter Phylogeny” on the grand tree of life.
In CritterGarden, your task is to tend to your crops and nurture a variety of cute Critters. But this isn’t just about simple farming; it’s about discovery. Every Critter’s ancestry can be traced on the grand tree of life, and by paying close attention to their evolution requirements, you can discover new creatures. Who knows what kinds of great beasts might descend from your humble starting Slimes?
Breeding and Caring for Your Critters
The Critters are the stars of the show. Each one has complex emotional needs that you must balance to keep them alive and happy. They also have unique diets, so you’ll need to grow the right crops to feed them. As you care for them, you’ll be able to evolve them into new and exciting forms.
You can create a variety of distinctive gardens across nine unique biomes, from traditional farms and cactus gardens to forests of fruit trees.
Each plant thrives in specific biomes and on suitable surface conditions, so you’ll need to manage your resources and space to support plenty of plant and Critter species. You can then sell your harvest to purchase unlockable tools, new farm layouts, and items that will help you automate and improve the efficiency of your gardening tasks.
Your Garden, Anywhere You Go
CritterGarden is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, which is a fantastic feature for players who split their time between console and PC. A single digital purchase of the game for £8.39 unlocks it for you on both your Xbox console and your Windows PC.
Your garden, your Critters, and all your progress are saved to the cloud, so you can seamlessly switch between devices without losing a single seed. Start a new evolution on your PC in the morning, and check on your crops on your Xbox in the evening – your garden is always with you.
You won’t find CritterGarden on Game Pass though – at least not at launch.
