“a soothing, satisfying and educational environmentalist puzzler”
8/10 – PC Gamer

“sets itself apart from other games in its subgenre by emphasizing nature over expansion”
8/10 – Shack News

Terra Nil: Vita Nova Update


Vita Nova expands on Terra Nil’s deeply satisfying nature restoration with new missions, buildings, an updated wildlife system, and a brand new world map—which is now fully 3D and can be freely rotated—giving you a more accurate and personalized overview of your efforts to bring life back to this dead world.

New levels include Polluted Bay, a barren landscape carved in half by a badly polluted river, and Scorched Caldera, a vast volcanic crater that you must transform into a life-filled freshwater lake. These, and all the new maps in the Vita Nova update, will put your reclamation skills to the test in interesting and unusual ways.

A completely overhauled wildlife system makes Terra Nil’s transformed landscapes more alive than ever. Animals emerge more naturally and have a deeper set of needs you need to fulfill if you want to keep them happy and abundant. This adds a new dimension of strategy to the game and gives you more animals to admire—including a brand new species, the jaguar—as nature is steadily restored.

About This Game



Terra Nil is a game about transforming a barren, lifeless landscape into a thriving, vibrant ecosystem. Turn dead soil into fertile grassland, clean polluted oceans, plant sprawling forests, and create the ideal habitat for animals to call home. Then recycle your buildings and leave no trace that you were there. Reclaim the wasteland.

A reverse city builder

Use advanced eco-technology to purify the soil, creating plains, wetlands, beaches, rainforests, wildflowers, and more—then efficiently recycle everything you've built, leaving the environment pristine for its new animal inhabitants.

Different maps every time

Procedurally generated landscapes mean no two playthroughs of Terra Nil will ever be the same. Plan your build around randomized, challenging, and unpredictable terrain, including snaking rivers, mountains, lowlands, and oceans.

A natural ebb and flow

Each region of Terra Nil progresses through phases, with the ultimate goal being leaving pristine wilderness behind. Levels are not about infinite growth, but rather balancing and nurturing the environment before leaving it in peace.

Experience tranquility

Lush hand-painted environments, relaxing music, and an atmospheric ambient soundscape make Terra Nil a peaceful, meditative experience. When you're done, use Appreciate mode to bask in the natural beauty of the ecosystem you have restored.
