About

A cozy exploration-and-crafting adventure: fly your seaplane between tropical islands, collect resources with the Swirler 2000, rebuild storm damaged communities, and unravel the mystery surrounding Uncle Lou’s disappearance.

A Seaplane, a Storm, and a Missing Uncle

Take to the skies in your trusty seaplane on a heartfelt adventure across the tropical Limbo archipelago.

Collect, Craft, Restore

Get a warm welcome from the Charneys in Tangle Bloom—the archipelago’s liveliest town—then head to Gleam Reef to watch the Vooi move to the music of the tides. Lastly, visit Boulderia, home to the grumpy, sugar-crystal-mining Gorplins!

Release Date Trailer

Verdant | Official Announcement Trailer

Publisher Megabit and developer Tiny Roar have announced Verdant, an adventure game set in a lush post-apocalyptic world. It will be available for PC via Steam. A release date was not announced.

“Verdant is a hopeful coming-of-age story,” said Tiny Roar co-founder and Verdant director Maurice Hagelstein in a press release. “Throughout Sprout’s journey players will encounter difficult moral choices and moments of poignant nostalgia as they balance their own survival against the needs of the natural world. We’re excited to show players more of Verdant in the future.”

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

Accompany Sprout on his journey through the green post-apocalyptic world of Verdant. Survive the beautiful yet harsh environment by building camps and upgrading your gear. Balance life and death literally in your hand with your powers and uncover their connection to the downfall of humanity.

Key Features

Explore a Changed World – After a devastating war, the world has fundamentally changed. Flora and fauna have mutated and reclaimed cities while human technology and culture have not moved on from the 1980s. Piece together the story of how the world changed and determine your role in building its future.

Be the Catalyst – Use Sprout’s unique powers to take and bestow life essence from nature to shape the world around you. Will you decide to absorb an innocent deer to heal yourself, or use its essence to cleanse the small stream ahead? The choice may be difficult, but it is yours to make.

Prepare for Every Possibility – The world of Verdant may look beautiful, but many dangers lurk within its lush greenery. As you journey through the lands, you’ll need to gather resources, craft and upgrade your gear and think fast if you want to survive.

Ensure your Survival – As an inexperienced fighter with limited firepower, you’ll need to rely on your wits to avoid and outsmart enemies. Staying hydrated, well-fed and rested is just as important to your survival; the rumbling of a hungry stomach can alert nearby animals and lack of sleep can lead your mind to play tricks on you.
