Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants, a charming new Android game, tackles the often-unseen struggles of mental health with surprising sensitivity and creativity. Guided by Empathy, a gentle rabbit companion, you embark on a journey through your own inner world, a process deeply personal yet surprisingly uplifting.

Developed by Antientropic, this therapeutic simulation game blends cozy room decorating with a unique emotional exploration. The game's design draws inspiration from the creative director's personal experiences during the COVID-19 lockdown, offering a relatable and comforting experience.

Features of Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants:

Begin your journey in a serene, yet empty room. With Empathy's guidance, you'll discover and nurture "emotibuns"—small, shy creatures representing your hidden emotions. As you care for them, each emotibun transforms into a vibrant plant, symbolically illuminating your inner world. Your sanctuary will flourish with a diverse collection of plants, from monsteras and philodendrons to alocasias and rare unicorn hybrids, reflecting your personal growth and journey.

Engage in a variety of minigames and activities to deepen your connection with your growing space and its inhabitants. From flying paper airplanes and creating custom Cup Ramyun flavors to playing retro Gameboy games, these activities provide energy and collectibles to support your plant care. Over 20 different care cards offer a range of actions, including watering, misting, and simply observing your flourishing plants, all with a selection of helpful tools at your disposal.

A Personal Journey with a Social Connection:

Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants introduces a "Doors" feature, allowing you to personalize your in-game door with symbols and stickers reflecting your unique story. Visit other players' doors, leave encouraging messages, and share in each other's progress, fostering a supportive and inclusive community.

Inspired by compassion-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques, Empathy's guidance encourages self-reflection, self-acceptance, and self-love. The game offers a fun and soothing way to express your thoughts and feelings through a variety of stickers and designs.
