About This Game

Get a fresh start and find a new sense of belonging as you join TinyTreeTalk․net, a fictional nostalgic bonsai forum. Customize your profile and help members with their diorama requests. Complete requests and grow your reputation on the forum to unlock new props, trees, and quests. Gain recognition and visit new locations as you progress.

Explore a selection of procedural bonsai trees, vines, and other plants and make them your own by growing, cutting, and twisting branches. You can also create your own procedural trees and plants with a plant editor.

Get inspiration from and help people with their quests. Tell a story, and build beautiful scenes using a wide range of props and tools. Make a fairy light cottage core garden, a playful tree-house, a stoic Shinto temple, or anything else that crosses your mind.

Immerse yourself in immaculate vibes and unwind to chill lofi beats as you unlock new locations and journey across Japan and its four seasons.

Unleash your creativity in sandbox mode with full access to all the tools and assets. Sculpt and paint the 3D terrain, place props with satisfying precision, add moss to props, and more.

Explore endless customization. Customize the aesthetics of the UI, the look of the props, your profile on the forum, and more.

We recommend this game for you if you:

• Enjoy games where you build and decorate.

• Enjoy creative freedom, but want quests and unlocks for inspiration and engagement.

• Feel overwhelmed sometimes when starting from a blank canvas or like you run out of inspiration quickly.

• Enjoy design tools that are easy to get into but have a lot of depth.

• Love customizing absolutely everything <3

• Like it when games let players create and share assets.

It might not be for you if you:

• Are expecting a game where you nurture and take care of bonsai. In this game you mainly shape them.

• Want an idle or incremental game.

• Want a deep narrative and narrative choices. Here, the quests and forum have heart but are gameplay-centered. Narrative choices are limited.

• Expect an actual forum with real-world people. You have the lovely Steam community, but there is no IRL TinyTreeTalk forum :')

• Need total 2000s accuracy. We focus on romanticizing the vibes of the era and may deviate to introduce modern elements or retro stuff.
