What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe Early Access is the perfect opportunity for Preserve to grow and evolve with the help of our community. By releasing in Early Access, we can gather invaluable feedback and insights directly from our dedicated players, to refine gameplay, introduce new features, and expand biomes in ways that resonate with your vision.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While it's difficult to estimate this, we hope to reach full release within a year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to implement several key enhancements and new content based on our development roadmap and player feedback. Key differences should include:

  • Additional Biomes beyond the initial three available in Early Access. Each new biome will feature unique ecosystems, flora, and fauna, offering diverse environments and new challenges for players to explore.

  • Game Compendium - serving as an in-game encyclopedia. This will include detailed entries on all species and plants encountered and interesting facts, enhancing the educational aspect of the game.

  • Additional Puzzles and Challenges - will provide deeper gameplay experiences, requiring strategic thinking and offering rewarding outcomes that impact the health and balance of the biomes.

  • Based on feedback from our Early Access players, we will implement various quality-of-life improvements, bug fixes, and other enhancements to meet and exceed player expectations.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Preserve includes the foundational gameplay mechanics and three distinct biomes, each with its unique plants, animals and challenges. Players can explore, create, and interact with these biomes, experiencing the core loop of nature preservation and expansion. While the game is fully playable and enjoyable in its current state, we are continuously working on adding new stuff, enhancing existing systems, and polishing the overall experience based on community feedback.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we plan to offer Preserve at a lower price during Early Access to reward our early supporters and to encourage player participation and feedback. As we add more content, features, and polish to the game, the price will increase to reflect the additional value and improved experience.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community involvement is at the heart of our development process for Preserve. We plan to engage with our players via forums, official Discord server as well as encouraging feedback via in-game feedback survey.”

About This Game



Preserve is a puzzle nature-building game that takes players on a journey into a harmonious ecosystem. The objective is to foster and sustain a thriving and diverse biomes, where each component coexists in a symbiotic harmony. By utilizing strategic thinking and a keen eye for balance, players are granted the power to position a wide array of plants and animals, curating an environment that caters to their preferences and aspirations.

Vertical map expansion

In Preserve, you can expand the map not only horizontally, but you also posses an ability to stack layers of nature, forming a vertical network of interconnected habitats.

Diverse biome habitats

From alpine forests and savannas to carribean reefs, each biome will have its own unique set of plants, animals, and environmental challenges to discover and overcome.

Multiple Game Modes

Besides regular harmony and puzzle game modes, creative mode lets you build the land without limitations and photo mode allows you to capture and share your creations at the end of each session.

Natural Wonders

Nothing can beautify your map more than natural wonders like the snowy Alps, lavender fields or redwood forests, which you can acquire thanks to a unique card upcycle system
