Our take on Seedlings
Its focus on atmospheric forest exploration and puzzle solving leaves less room for systems outside that structure. Players looking for a wider mix of gameplay activities may find the experience narrowly centered on plant abilities, environmental obstacles, and discovery.
What is Seedlings?
Play as a seed in a 2D puzzle platformer set in New Zealand’s native forest.
The seed can take control of several plant creatures, each with distinct abilities, and use them to work through obstacles in handcrafted levels. Hidden secrets are scattered across the photo-based environments. A narrative-driven story explores the origins of the Seedlings while humanity tries to understand their appearance. The presentation combines real photographs and videos with ambient music and sounds from nature. Progress involves exploring the forest, solving puzzles, and changing between plant creatures to use their different abilities.
