“A pacifistic exploration art game.”

“The player slips into the role of a mighty forest god to restore the harmony in a mesmerizing forest and relieve it of a mysterious infestation. This shuddersome, mothlike infestation is drawn to the conflicts of the forest’s inhabitants. 

“Through observation and by using the abilities of nurturing and withering fascinating plants, the player can solve said conflicts. NIVA’s scenic art style, relaxing music and simple but intriguing game mechanics invite you to explore the forest and have a rest from the stressful everyday life.”

Painted turtle babies!!!!

We dug them up and put them by the pond so they’d have a better chance of living. 7 were already hatched and 3 were still in their eggs. We reburied the unhatched ones in the sand near the pond so they’d have an easier time digging out and getting to the water
