Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants is a charming new Android game that tackles a sensitive topic with surprising grace. The game begins with a meeting with Empathy, a gentle rabbit guide who leads you through your own inner world.
Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants, a therapeutic simulator from Antientropic, blends cozy room decorating with a deeply personal emotional journey. Its design is heavily influenced by the creative director's experiences during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Features of Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants
Your journey starts in a tranquil, abandoned room. With Empathy's help, you'll uncover hidden aspects of yourself by collecting "emotibuns"—tiny, shy creatures representing your emotions.
The magic unfolds as you nurture these emotibuns. Each one transforms into a beautiful plant, illuminating both your room and your inner world. Over time, your sanctuary blossoms with unique plants—monsteras, philodendrons, alocasia, and even rare unicorn hybrids—reflecting your personal growth.
Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants offers a variety of minigames and activities to deepen your connection with your room and its flourishing plants. Engage in paper airplane flights, create custom Cup Ramyun flavors, and play retro Gameboi games.
These activities provide energy and collectibles to help you care for your plants using over 20 different care cards, allowing you to water, mist, and observe them with a range of tools.
A Personal Journey with a Social Connection
Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants features a "Doors" system. Decorate your door with symbols and stickers that represent your unique story. Visit other players' doors, leave messages, and share in each other's progress.
Empathy's guidance and the in-game activities are inspired by compassion-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques, encouraging self-care, self-acceptance, and self-love.
Express your thoughts creatively with a variety of soothing stickers and designs. Download Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants from the Google Play Store.
