Wild Willows: a cozy game about restoring ecosystems
Hi! I’ve been working on a game called Wild Willows, a cozy nature restoration game where you repair damaged habitats and bring wildlife back.
You start with an empty meadow and gradually restore it by planting things, changing the landscape, crafting habitat objects, and figuring out what different animals need before they’ll return. There are no timers or fail states, so it’s mostly about exploring, building, collecting, and watching the area slowly come back to life.
I originally built it as a desktop game, but I recently got the browser version running at wildwillows.app so people can jump in without downloading or paying for anything.
I’ve been doing a bunch of performance work on the web version this week too, so I’d especially love to hear how it runs on different browsers/computers and in different parts of the world.
It’s still very much an indie project I’m actively working on, so feedback is super welcome. Hope you enjoy it!
