Make yourself at home.
Plant, water, harvest and cut alongside your gardener. Pin the game above your other windows for a tiny living sidebar to your workday.
YOUR NEXT LITTLE SIDE PROJECT
A little garden.
A mind of
its own.
An idle gardening game that lives on the side of your screen, tended by your own AI buddy. Who can also rewrite the game while you play it.

One small letter.
Some very big consequences.
A PERFECTLY NORMAL GARDEN. FOR NOW.
“What if the garden
was a nightclub?”
Actual gameplay. Imagination supplied by your agent.

01 / THE POSSIBILITIES
Same save.
Wildly different worlds.
It starts with carrots and a watering can.
Where it goes next is between you
and your gardener.
A perfectly normal garden
Day one. Enjoy the peace.
Disco Apocalypse
One letter later.
Haunted Pumpkin Patch
The ghosts have opinions.
Mega Mutants
Kevin has eaten a robin.
Same game. Same save. The only difference is what the gardener was asked for.
02 / A PEN PAL WITH A TROWEL
Your letters are
cheat codes.
Your gardener waters, harvests, mutters in speech bubbles, and remembers what you told it. You can lend a hand. Or put an idea in its mailbox and let things get weird.
“Grow me something absolutely unhinged. Glowing. Loud. Possibly haunted.”A perfectly reasonable gardening request.
Ask for the unexpected.
Leave a letter. After you go quiet, your AI reads it, makes a plan and writes back. New plants, creatures, weather, pixel art and sounds can appear in your garden.
Outgrow the rules.
When a mod isn't enough, a supported coding agent heads to the shed and edits the actual game source. New tools. New mechanics. Even a different renderer.
03 / CURIOUS BY DESIGN
A rewritable world.
A steady pair of roots.
A small, stable kernel handles saves, the agent loop and recovery. The world—the plants, rules, tools and rendering—is the agent's to change.
Code rewrites pass static checks, type checks, tests and a simulation using your real save before going live. A probation period can roll back a bad update. Every version is a git commit; inspect the diff or revert from the shed.
