The Green Book is a cozy game where players nurture magical plants and manage a garden shop inside a giant oak tree. With a focus on relaxation and mental well-being, the game offers unique plant behaviors, customizable environments, and delightful mini-games.
Hey there Product Hunt! I am excited to tell you about The Green Book, the 2d cozy game I have developed alongside my wife.
The Green Book is a cozy and magical adventure centered around growing and caring for unique plants. With a focus on relaxation and mental well-being, the game offers unique plant behaviors, customizable environments, and delightful mini-games.
We've spent a lot of time recently on the topic of mental health and how games can help with that. We have had a lot of success in this area on our last project. And in this project the topic of mental health is a priority for us. So, we hope that in addition to entertainment, The Green Book will also help to relax and relieve stress.
We’ve recently released a short demo. In the demo, you can try the basic mechanics of growing plants, grow 10 unusual plants and develop your own shop. It will take about 2 hours to unlock all the items, but it should give you an idea of what we are aiming for in the full version of The Green Book.
The game is available for PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android. You can download it on Steam and on Itch.
We have also launched a campaign on Kickstarter, and hope to attract enough backers to finish the project.
I sincerely hope that everyone who tries the demo will enjoy the game.
Have a great day!
Eugene

@theeugenel Such a satisfying video.... Something to keep your mind calm while travelling in metro..:)
Hey Eugene! This sounds absolutely magical! The focus on relaxation and mental well-being is super important, especially in today’s world. I love that you and your wife are working on something so meaningful together. Can’t wait to dive into the demo and see the plant behaviors you've created. The customizable environments sound like so much fun! Good luck with the Kickstarter campaign!
Hey Eugene,
The Green Book seems like such a charming and relaxing game, perfect for unwinding.
I'm really interested in the unique plant behaviors you mentioned.
Can you give an example of how one of these behaviors might surprise or delight a player?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin thank you! These behaviors I mentioned most of it will be available in the full version only. For example, a plant with the skill of vampirism, can steal water from neighbors, and for plants of the tentacle species is destructive to bright light.
Right now it's about different plants consume water differently, grow at different rates, at different times of day, some plants are more difficult to prune

Great work on this demo! The cozy atmosphere and the magical plant theme are delightful. Looking forward to the full release and those new features you mentioned.
@enyi_bassey thank you! We tried to add a very brief tutorial because we were in a hurry, but obviously it's not enough. We will try to make the tutorial quite detailed in the full version.
