Embrace Nature

Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants, a charming new Android game, tackles personal struggles with a unique approach. Guided by Empathy, a gentle rabbit, players navigate their inner world, creating a personalized sanctuary. Developed by Antientropic, this therapeutic sim blends cozy room decorating with a deeply emotional journey, inspired by the creative director's experiences during the Covid-19 lockdown.

The game features "emotibuns," tiny creatures representing hidden emotions. Nurturing these emotibuns transforms them into vibrant plants, symbolically illuminating the player's inner growth. The sanctuary gradually fills with diverse flora, including monsteras, philodendrons, alocasias, and even rare unicorn hybrids, reflecting the player's progress.

Numerous minigames—from paper airplane flying to retro Game Boy gaming and instant ramen preparation—provide energy and collectibles to further cultivate the thriving plant collection. Over 20 care cards offer diverse actions, including watering, misting, and observation, using a variety of tools.

A social element is incorporated through the "Doors" feature. Players personalize their doors with stickers and symbols, reflecting their journey, and can visit others' sanctuaries, leaving encouraging messages and sharing their growth.

Inspired by compassion-focused therapy and CBT techniques, Dustbunny encourages self-acceptance, self-love, and self-care. The game offers a fun, soothing method for processing emotions through creative expression. Download Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants from the Google Play Store.
