Zen garden is a casual farming game for PC in which you have just inherited a large zen garden! the main point for this game is to maintain and build up your garden, by growing magical plants and selling them (or giving them away) and by maintaining the garden in general, for instance raking the sand etc, its very much a farming type game in that you grow magical plants and put up wards to protect against evil spirits.

you can also completely customize a ton of aspects about it, so you can truly make your garden your own.

selling the fruit from the plants can be a simple way to get some money, that is used to buy more parts for the garden. if you give the plants and fruit to the villagers in the town they might start to like you more and may share some secrets or blueprints for items to put in your garden!

the aesthetic for this game is very "magical Japanese" using mythos from the culture and aesthetic heavily inspired by old Japanese artwork. i am not going to say i am very knowledgeable of Japanese zen garden culture so i am not entirely sure about the details about it.

i want this game to be zero stress and just a pleasant little way of spending your time or helping when you are a bit stressed out for example.
