New Roots
A downloadable game for Windows
Piertje is a solarpunk seaside community located on the New-Dutch coastline. Despite so much being lost to the unpredictable tides and weather, the people that live there are driven to take care of themselves, each other, and the world around them.
It is also home to Stick, a teenage capybara wild about all things plant, who decides that they are done mourning the loss of local plant life and decides to give the beaten-down native plant life a chance to thrive again.
So begins the wholesome adventure to restore their past in order to create a better future! Play as Stick as you search for the lost plants and help the community so that they both can thrive. 🌱✨
NOTE: New Roots is a short game. Estimated 1 hour completion time.

Charming little game full of hope for the future. Lovely to see a game like this which is a much more nature-focused and caring view of the future than I often see.
thanks so much!! <3 we're glad you're on the same wavelength
I loved this game. The setting already has my mind racing about my own ideas for post-collapse communities. One of the best hours I ever spent.
thank you sooo much this is literally so sweet!! Excited to hear what you come up with!!
