Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants is an enchanting new game available on Android, blending cuteness with a deep dive into our often private emotional struggles. The game introduces you to your guide, Empathy, a gentle rabbit that navigates you through your personal mental landscape.
Created by Antientropic, Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants is a therapeutic simulation where you craft your own sanctuary. This game melds cozy room decorating with an emotional journey inspired by the creative director's own experiences during the Covid lockdown.
What Are the Features of Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants?
Your adventure starts in a tranquil, abandoned room. With Empathy's guidance, you unlock parts of yourself by catching whimsical creatures known as 'emotibuns.' These creatures embody your concealed emotions.
The real magic unfolds as you nurture these emotibuns. Each one you care for transforms into a stunning plant, illuminating your room and symbolically brightening your inner world. As you progress, your space becomes a lush haven filled with diverse plants like monsteras, philodendrons, alocasia, and even rare unicorn hybrids, mirroring your personal growth.
The game is packed with engaging minigames and activities that enhance your bond with your room and its flora. From flying Paper Planes, concocting various Cup Ramyun flavors, to playing on a retro Gameboi, these activities not only entertain but also provide you with energy and collectibles to continue nurturing your plants. With over 20 different Care Cards, you can perform actions like watering, misting, and observing, equipped with a variety of tools to help your plants thrive.
It’s a Personal Adventure but with a Social Twist
Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants introduces a 'Doors' feature, where you can personalize your door with symbols and stickers that tell your unique story. You can also visit other players' doors, exchange messages, and celebrate each other's growth journeys.
Empathy's interactions and activities draw from compassion-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques, encouraging you to take time for self-care, explore self-acceptance, and foster self-love. The game offers stickers and designs to express your thoughts creatively and soothingly.
Discover Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants on the Google Play Store and embark on a journey of emotional healing and growth.
