Have you ever wondered what it’s like to tend to a garden full of sentient bonsai?

No?

Well, buckle up, ‘cause your eccentric uncle just handed you the keys to his weird plant paradise and jetted off on vacation!

These aren’t your average houseplants—these little guys talk, they love you (even though they've only just met you... weird...) , and they might just be the most dramatic bonsai you’ll ever meet — as if you had ever experienced sentient bonsai.

Your job? Keep them happy, keep them small, and for the love of all things leafy, DON’T. LET. THEM. GROW. TOO. BIG, do you understand?!

Sounds easy, right? Well, you’ll soon find out that a garden full of chatty, needy, magical trees might be a little more than what you bargained for!

Collect as many points as possible as quickly as possible!

Your uncle gave you his garden as part of the Ludum Dare 56.
