Curator Review

Recommended

“本作《本草计划》是一款桌面挂机放置游戏,并且只占用屏幕的一个角落,玩家还可以将其隐藏起来在后台自动运行。游戏是带有克系元素的植物培养养成玩法,通过组合不同种类的种子,使用不同的培育方法来培养各种不同的植物获取灵气。每种植物的生长都分为两个阶段,游戏对两个阶段的植物都有克系画风的作画,配合玩家的工作和游戏,可以在屏幕享受另类的观感。但是在屏幕上种克系植物这种事,注定不会像可爱的小猫小羊一样受众。”

About This Game

Herba Project: Desktop Lab is a Lovecraftian-themed idle gardening game. Players take on the role of a researcher cultivating various plant species by adjusting nutrient solutions, environmental temperature, and soil moisture. With over 100 unique plants awaiting discovery, why is the researcher growing them? What is the true purpose of the lab? Unravel the story's secrets through your own exploration.

Core Gameplay:

An idle/clicker experience requiring minimal active input. Once you configure a growth formula, the cultivation dishes will automatically nurture the plants.

Note: Each plant thrives in specific environmental conditions. Ideal settings significantly boost yield, while unsuitable conditions may cause plants to wither before maturity.

Art Style:

Features 135 meticulously hand-drawn plant varieties, each with two distinct growth stages—totaling 270 original illustrations. There's one for every taste.

Story:

As a researcher, you'll receive sporadic emails from headquarters. Through tasks, rants, reports, and directives within these messages, you'll catch glimpses of earth-shattering secrets.

Key Appeal:

What could be more relaxing than tending virtual plants on your desktop?

If traditional Chinese herbs feel too distant, Lovecraftian flora is just right for modern netizens. Learn their quirks—someday, that knowledge might just save you.
