Bonus Stage Publishing and Italian developer Dramatic Iceberg are planting the seeds for Garden In!, the studio’s first commercial title. In partnership with Double Jump Capital, the peaceful sandbox plant growing game will come to PC and Nintendo Switch next year.
The game is very simple and straight forward. Players start in a room where they are tasked with decorating it to their liking. This room operates as a little sandbox. Furniture can be arranged and the environment painted. More importantly this is where the plants are grown.
We started making the game because none of our team was able to keep their plants alive. We then decided we needed to learn some gardening skills, and just like that was the idea for the game born.

Initially players start off with a few available seeds. As one advances, the seed library will grow. Seeds can be planted in soil, water, and rocks. There are a few spots to choose from. Combining different seeds and trying out different growing conditions will help expand the seed library. Playing the game further will unlock new rooms and areas.
Publishing to bring such a fun game to market. We see enormous potential in supporting such an innovative, entertaining and enjoyable game and look forward to the success of Garden In!

The game was featured in Whole Games and Guerrilla Collection in June 2022. A demo was available during Steam Next Fest in June 2022. New content revelations and a release date will be announced soon.
Garden In! is planned for an early 2023 release on PC and Nintendo Switch. PC players can add the game to their Steam wishlist now. For more information visit dramaticiceberg.it/gardenin/.
