It begins with a single root. Find water, awaken a forest, and watch plants, animals and music become a living world.

An ecology game about bringing a world back to life — and learning how to keep it alive. Guide roots through the earth to hidden water, restore the soil and plant the beginnings of an ecosystem. Above ground, every new arrival changes the balance.
One landscape, one camera. Slide from bare earth to towering sequoias, wildflowers and a world alive with wildlife.

Interactive arrangement using the game’s music engine. Sound starts only when you press play.A WORLD WITH A LIFE OF ITS OWN
Guide roots to water and choose what to grow. Animals arrive, feed, hunt and spread seeds on their own. Your choices shape their habitat; your role is to help the ecosystem stay in balance.
Follow the connections from the first root to a living forest. New species arrive when water, food and shelter can support them.
Guide roots toward hidden springs. Moisture spreads through the connected ground, making the first growth possible.
Grass takes hold. Soil beetles and earthworms help the ground recover. Moles feed on worms and open tunnels that roots can follow.
Flowers draw bees and butterflies; pollination helps the meadow spread. Grass and berries support grazers, whose growing numbers change how much food remains.
Trees create shade and shelter. Birds and deer carry seeds, helping new growth appear. Fireflies hint at hidden water; connected springs can fill a pond and support fish.
Foxes limit hares and voles; owls hunt voles and moles at night. The forest cat feeds on deer, hares and foxes. Each population changes the others — a healthy habitat keeps the whole web going.
Answer drought, fire and human pressure by protecting water and plant life. Our planned North American finale brings the forest toward national-park status, with larger wildlife such as the grizzly bear.
Water, food and shelter connect every stage. These arrows show ecological relationships and the journey of a growing world.
A FIELD GUIDE TO YOUR WORLD
Every resident has a reason to arrive, a place to live and a role in the web of life. Explore the animals taking shape in Heart of the World.
A flowering meadow draws them in. They pollinate flowers and berry bushes, helping the plants that feed the rest of the ecosystem.
Different flowers and a nearby tree make a home for butterflies. They carry pollen farther across the meadow, connecting patches of new growth.
Grass, berries and shelter help hares thrive. A growing population can graze the meadow bare; a healthy fox population gives the plants time to recover.
Small grazers that settle in grassy ground. They are part of the food web for foxes and owls, and their numbers matter to the meadow’s balance.
Deer need a generous meadow, trees and a watering place. Their arrival marks a richer habitat, but too many hungry mouths can exhaust its vegetation.
Foxes follow hares and voles, switching toward plentiful prey. They help keep grazing in check, so a busy meadow can stay green.
A mature tree gives an owl a home. At night it hunts voles and surplus moles, adding another quiet check on the food web.
This larger hunter needs an established forest. It keeps deer, hares and even foxes in check: predators, too, are part of the balance.
Trees provide shelter for these little birds. They carry seeds to living patches of soil, helping flowers and berries spread beyond your planting.
Connect underground water to fill the surface pond. These small fish make it their home, and a living pond helps the landscape support more birds.
A living meadow has a different cast after dark. Follow these tiny lights: they gather near hidden deep water, hinting at where your roots could go next.
Some of the first residents beneath the roots. They make their home in living soil, bringing movement to a world that first looked empty.
Worms work through humus in moist soil, helping the ground recover. In this game, a population that outgrows its food can damage living soil.
Moles keep worms in check and dig tunnels that roots can follow more easily. Their molehills change the surface, too: animals avoid grazing on them.
The Heart pulses, sending light through the roots you draw. As the ecosystem grows, new musical layers and animal voices join in. We’re building a living score where every species has its own part.
Follow a branching discovery tree from the first grass to a thriving forest. Create the right conditions and new life arrives naturally. Species cards explain what each resident needs and what it gives back.
Drought and fire can undo a meadow’s recovery. Loggers threaten the trees; water pumps drain springs. Guide roots, bring rain and find ways to protect the habitat. People can become allies, too: a conservationist stands up for the forest.
Earn achievements for your first root, a new spring or a stable balance between predator and prey. Uncover buried curiosities, collect discoveries in your herbarium and learn why even the smallest resident matters.
FIRST DESTINATION / NORTH AMERICA
Our first chapter is growing toward a North American national park: from pollinators and grazing animals to a forest that can support a grizzly bear. Beyond it, we envision new lands with their own food webs, music and wildlife — lions in Africa, jaguars in the Amazon and tigers in Asia.
In development. The national-park finale and later regions are part of our roadmap.THE JOURNEY WE’RE BUILDING
From North American forests to the African savanna and the Amazon rainforest: each region brings its own plants, wildlife, ecological challenges and evolving music. You guide roots and water. Life finds its own way.
Planned scope · Three distinct landscapes, each unfolding through its own sequence of growth and discovery.
Forest of red giants
10 stages · 26 animal types
Grow a meadow into a forest of towering redwoods. Restore streams, protect old trees and help people learn to share the land.
Bees pollinate berries. Hares and deer spread seeds. Foxes and the forest cat keep grazers in balance; beavers, salmon and a grizzly join the growing web.
A world with its own sound Roots, birdsong and water, growing into guitar, banjo and wooden flute.
Baobab savanna
6 stages · 12 animal types
Bring water to a sun-dried savanna of acacias and baobabs. Build a habitat that can support herds, nesting birds and a pride of lions.
Termites renew the soil. Impalas and zebras graze, elephants reshape the habitat, and cheetahs and lions help the grass recover.
A world with its own sound Interlocking kalimba, wooden percussion and a gentle call-and-response.
The layered rainforest
6 stages · 12 animal types
Wake a rainforest from its roots to its canopy. Follow rising rivers, restore rich soil and protect the water that connects the whole forest.
Leafcutter ants work below the canopy. Bees and hummingbirds pollinate, agoutis carry seeds, and ocelots, harpy eagles and jaguars complete the food web.
A world with its own sound Rain, berimbau and wooden flute over a soft Brazilian-inspired rhythm.
The North American chapter is planned around ten park-inspired landscapes. Each stage reveals a new background and a park card, from Zion’s red cliffs to Yellowstone’s geysers. These destinations are milestones within the region.
Beyond these first three worlds, we’re exploring Europe, Russia and Asia — each with a different ecosystem. The journey is in development; regions and wildlife will arrive in stages.
