Viridi is a real-time plant-growing simulator where you tend a small pot of succulents, pull weeds, and water your plants and the resident snail at your own pace. The game runs quietly in the background, rewarding brief check-ins throughout the day rather than demanding active play. It's designed for players seeking a meditative, low-stress experience that mimics the gentle rhythm of actual plant care.
About this game
Nurture a small pot of succulents that grow in real time. Viridi is a safe haven, a place you can return to for a moment of peace and quiet whenever you need it.

Plants grow. Snails crawl. Succulents are watered.
They start out having you look at which plants you want, the designs of different pots, the layout and where you want to put your seedlings. You would think this is some kind of a plant simulator game.
Wrong. Classic misdirection.
This game is all about the snail. The snail is the one unchanging variable. You can pick up your snail. You can spray your snail with water. But the snail will just keep going, always in the same direction. It will not turn around, it will not change speed.
The snail is a metaphor for life. It just keeps going.
You can even speed up time itself - the game does a timelapse when you've had it off for several hours. During that timelapse, the snail doesn't zoom around. Plants will grow before your eyes but the snail does not give way to your constructs of time and space, it will move at its own pace.
Edit: by a recent update, the snail now toots. Life isn't all flowers. Kodus for this true-to-reality touch.
Viridi's OST is now available on beautiful, green vinyl. We worked with Chehade Boulos (Mana Wave Media) to produce this limited edition run of 300 copies, with art by Gianne Encarnacion and Libby Frame. Acquire it here --> https://manawave.co/products/viridi🌱🐌
This patch is to fix a bug that's only really coming up on mobile versions right now. The fix changed some underlying code in a way that is better optimized, but that probably won't be noticeable either. Happy spring 🐌🌱
Fixed an issue with the Steam integration that was causing immediate crashes on Apple Silicon devices (I think). Also fixed some minor UI issues that occurred at extreme aspect ratios, and found and fixed a bug where window size changes made in the nursery were reset when returning to your pot.
