Tiny Garden gets April Release Date

The world can be a scary and strange place. Scary due to things going on in the world that are out of our control, and strange due to things that rarely (or never) happen, like snow on the Texas coast. Whether you’re worried about the state of the world or just hoping to stay warm, Spanish studio Ao Norte might have a reprieve for you.

Their latest game, published by Super Rare Games, called Tiny Garden is set to release on April 8^th. It is a mix of puzzles, strategy, and relaxation. In fact, there are no fail states, scores, or time limits. Just grow your garden and let the creativity bloom. Here is what the press release says about Tiny Garden:

Maybe it is because the world can be so stressful, but more and more I find myself excited to play things that don’t have the option for failure. They can still be complex and involved, but losing that risk and stress can sometimes help me unwind in ways other games don’t. Combining that with the fact that I love gardening makes Tiny Garden a must-play for me.
