You have a little spring, a patch of earth and eight rains. What will you grow?
I made Rainroom, a cozy, turn-based strategy game about growing a garden one small decision at a time. Choose your plants, guide the water and see what blooms when the rain arrives.
Play Rainroom free in your browser
No download or game account needed.
Your first garden: two choices before the rain.
Plant another bellflower, bring water to a thirsty fern, or tend the plants you already have? You get two actions before each rain, so every little patch of garden asks you to make a choice.
- Take your time. There’s no decision timer, and you can preview the rain and undo your actions before releasing it.
- Find your own combinations. Six plants have different water needs and bonuses from their neighbours.
- Grow another garden. Look back at what worked, try a different approach, or send a friend the same starting garden and compare your results.
The current public playtest, Playtest 03, includes a season review, a journal of your finished gardens and shareable challenges.
Try one garden and see what you’d grow differently next time. If you feel like sharing, I’d love to see a screenshot of what you grew.
All gameplay is free. If you’d like to support Rainroom, the optional US$5 Garden Notes download includes an illustrated booklet and woodland wallpapers.
