by Rainier on Aug. 18, 2021 @ 10:50 a.m. PDT

In Cloud Gardens players must harness the power of nature to overgrow lo-fi scenes of urban decay and manufactured landscapes.

Cloud Gardens is a relaxing little game about overgrowing the ruins at the end of the world.

By planting the right seeds in the right places, and learning how to make them thrive, they’re able to create small overgrown dioramas of brutality and beauty, salvaging and re-purposing hundreds of discarded objects to create unique structures for nature to reclaim.

Players can dive into a relaxing sandbox mode with no goals, where they are simply left to delight in their own creativity and create beautiful scenes, or take on a “campaign” of six chapters, where the task is to strike a balance between nature and the manufactured by covering each scene with salvaged objects and lush vegetation.

Indie developer Noio announced that Cloud Gardens will be coming to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One on 1st September.

Cloud Gardens will launch out of Steam Early Access on the same day with a massive launch date that is also included in the console versions of the game. 

Features (launch update):

  • A Branching Overworld Map
  • 15+ New Levels
  • 120+ New Items
  • Freecam Mode
  • Customizable Skyboxes
  • Achievements
  • Full Controller Support
  • Language Support: Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish

This is a chill game where the player is allowed to delight in their own creativity. The player's task is to completely cover the scene in plants. As you overgrow the objects, a meter fills to show your progress. You are given objects to expand the scene. These objects contribute energy to the growing of plants, but you will also have to cover them in foliage to complete the stage, striking a balance between nature and the manufactured.

Key Features:

  • Solve organic puzzles in a serene 3D space.
  • Create to your heart’s content in creative mode.
  • Unlock an enormous catalogue of objects and plantlife.
  • Share your creations.
  • Featuring generative soundscapes by Amos Roddy, composer of Kingdom.

Currently available for PC through Steam Early Access, Cloud Gardens is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on September 1, 2021.
