I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth

I mean the point of a company like Informa, the entire business model, is to identify places where value is being generated with no input from them and capture those. They're rent-seeking squatters.

Incredibly cute, relaxing gardening game with interesting plants to explore, characters to meet, and spells to discover. The music and visual design work well together to create a peaceful stage for exploration and passive cultivating. Can't wait to get immersed in the full release!

Super cute game! The demo has me enticed for the full game. The art was all really cute, and I enjoyed my sassy compost friend! The card drawing system is a really fun way to progress through the game, and it has me feeling like replayablity wiill be high. Cozy gaming at its finest! (PS My neighbours are very cute. Can I smooch them? Y/N?)

I am a long time gardener and I can honestly say I have never been more emotionally invested in a compost heap than I felt towards Compostifer. This scratches my itch for a mellow witchy experience with lovely music to soothe my generalized work anxiety. Can't wait for the full release <3

I don't play many idle games, but this one caught my attention. The game seems very promising! The card/action mechanic is a fun way to inject story & random events into the gameplay loop. The radio is probably my favourite part. The music is chill and I enjoyed laying in the wind and cafe sound effects. I ended up leaving the game open for hours just to enjoy the soundscape. Looking forward to learning more about the story of this quirky co-op filled with magic people.

Thank you to all the kind folks who left us reviews on the Greenhearth Necromancer demo! 💚

Feedback of any sort helps us make the game better, and we wanted to highlight some of the wonderful words that our community left for us.

According to one of my friend group chats, absolutely 😅

It definitely still has a deep hold on a lot of folks even this many years later

Lol Canadian prices are like 3 times that when you account for exchange rate

Yeah for sure — though, assuming whatever this is is without Joss, maybe better chance of not falling into that?
