Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants Is a Therapeutic Sim, Out Now

Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants: A Therapeutic Mobile Game for Emotional Wellbeing

Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants, a new Android game, offers a charming yet profound exploration of personal emotions. Guided by Empathy, a friendly rabbit, players embark on a journey through their own inner world, a sanctuary they design and nurture. Inspired by the creative director's experiences during the Covid lockdown, this therapeutic sim blends cozy room decorating with a unique emotional healing process.

Key Features of Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants:

The game begins in a serene, empty room. Players capture "emotibuns," tiny creatures representing hidden emotions. Nurturing these emotibuns transforms them into beautiful plants—monsteras, philodendrons, alocasia, and even rare hybrids—symbolically illuminating the player's inner growth and reflecting their journey.

The game features a variety of minigames, including paper airplane flying, ramyun flavor creation, and retro Gameboi gaming, providing energy and collectibles to further enhance the player's sanctuary. Over 20 care cards offer various plant care actions, from watering and misting to simple observation, with a range of tools at the player's disposal.

A Personal Journey with a Social Connection:

The "Doors" feature allows players to personalize their in-game door with stickers and symbols, reflecting their unique experiences. Visiting other players' doors enables interaction, message sharing, and a sense of shared growth.

The game incorporates elements of compassion-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques, encouraging self-acceptance, self-love, and self-care. Fun and calming stickers and designs provide additional avenues for self-expression.
