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

Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants, a charming Android game, tackles sensitive personal issues in a unique and engaging way. Guided by Empathy, a friendly rabbit, players navigate their inner world, a sanctuary they design and personalize. Inspired by the creative director's experiences during the COVID-19 lockdown, the game blends cozy room decorating with a profound emotional journey.

Key Features of Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants:

The game begins in a serene, empty room. Players collect "emotibuns," small creatures representing hidden emotions. Nurturing these emotibuns transforms them into beautiful plants, symbolically illuminating the player's inner world. The room gradually fills with diverse flora, including monsteras, philodendrons, alocasias, and even fantastical unicorn hybrids, reflecting personal growth and progress.

A variety of minigames—paper airplane flying, ramyun flavor creation, and retro Game Boy emulation—provide energy and collectibles to further cultivate the growing plant collection. Over 20 care cards offer detailed plant care options, including watering, misting, and observation, using a range of tools.

A Personal Journey with a Social Element:

The "Doors" feature allows players to decorate their in-game door with personalized symbols and stickers, showcasing their unique journey. Visiting other players' doors enables interaction, message exchange, and shared growth experiences.

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