“《本草计划·桌面实验室》是一款桌面挂机放置类游戏,但却是同类游戏中较为罕见的克苏鲁题材和画风。玩家扮演的研究员需要通过调配营养基、环境温度、土壤湿度来培育不同种类的奇花异草,玩家只需调配好植物的培育方案,培养皿就可以自动培育植物。玩家在培育植物的同时也会通过碎片化叙事的剧情来体验一个克系风味的故事,探索这座植物实验室背后的秘密。现在桌面挂机游戏越来越多,如果想尝试下不一样的体验,不妨来试试本作。”

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.
