Publisher Nacon and developer stillalive studios have announced Garden Life, a new gardening sandbox sim.

Garden Life will let players plant, cultivate, decorate, and manage their own garden in lieu of actually growing things in reality, because we live in a sad dystopia.

“Gaming and gardening: marrying these two hobbies to create one relaxing and stunning experience was something that has always been a dream for us,” said Kay Luthor producer of Garden Life.

She added, “We wanted to share our passion and experience of gardening through Garden Life and offer the players the opportunity to create the garden that fits their vision and desires, with a unique art style that evokes wonder and highlights the beauty of nature.”

Here’s a rundown on the game:
