User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
This is one of my favorite games! It’s relaxing, with wonderful music & you have no reason for alarm if your plants dehydrate or get bugs because these plants never die. You can grow whatever you want, in whatever plant pot you’d like. Each plant is unique in its design, with no apparent real life counterpart except for the Christmas trees but that’s about it. It also allows you to customize each space with different items like beds or other items you may enjoy. If you enjoy very relaxing, zero effort gardening games with a nice soundtrack this is an amazing pick for you. ⭐️11/10⭐️

Garden In! is a warm, contemplative sandbox about nurturing plants and creating cozy indoor spaces, and its greatest triumph is how effortlessly it invites players into a slower rhythm. Developed and published by Dramatic Iceberg, the game leans entirely into gentleness—soft colors, delicate animations, and a quiet sense of progress that unfolds at its own pace. Rather than pushing the player toward efficiency or competition, it instead encourages presence. You begin in a small, sunlit room with only a few pots and seeds, and from there the game steadily opens into a soothing loop of planting, watering, decorating, and discovering new flora. It’s an experience built less on challenge and more on the simple pleasure of tending something beautiful over time. The core mechanics revolve around selecting pots, choosing soil types, planting seeds, and watching your plants grow gradually in real time. Garden In! doesn’t hide behind complex systems or heavy simulation; instead, it embraces simplicity as an aesthetic choice. Growth takes hours rather than minutes, and plants continue developing even when the game is inactive. This design invites a check-in style of play—watering your seedlings, rearranging a shelf, or experimenting with hybridization before stepping away again. It echoes the cadence of caring for real plants, where patience is part of the reward. Unlocking new plant species through combinations or achievements adds a sense of discovery that motivates you to keep experimenting without the pressure of deadlines or failure. Visually, the game is charming without being overstated. Gentle lighting, pastel hues, and clean lines create interior spaces that feel inviting and personal. Each room you unlock becomes a canvas for expression, allowing you to customize layouts, place furniture, change décor, and arrange plants in ways that reflect your own aesthetic sensibilities. This freedom is amplified by the fact that nothing in the game costs currency—every pot, furniture piece, and decorative item is instantly available once unlocked. It makes experimentation frictionless, allowing you to redesign rooms on a whim without worrying about resource management. This openness transforms Garden In! into as much a decoration game as a plant-growing one, giving it appeal that stretches beyond fans of gardening themes. As calming as the experience is, the game does carry some limitations that stem from its design philosophy. Because the growth cycle is slow and depends on real time, players expecting active engagement may find the pace too passive. For those accustomed to quick gratification in simulation titles, Garden In! can initially feel like a string of small chores—water here, spray there, wait a few hours, then repeat. When managing numerous plants, these actions can become repetitive. Likewise, while hybridization adds depth, the interface is not always clear, and it can be difficult to remember which seed combinations yield which new plants. The late-game progression, where tasks require high quantities of plants or repetitive actions, can turn meditative calm into mild grind if approached too mechanically. Despite these drawbacks, Garden In! succeeds at the experience it aims to deliver. It is a gentle, aesthetically grounded retreat that asks the player to slow down and enjoy small moments rather than chase constant stimulation. In a landscape of fast-paced, high-pressure games, its quietness feels intentional and refreshing. It works best not as a game to binge for hours, but as a companion you revisit periodically—watering some vines, adding a new shelf, planting a fresh seed, then stepping away to let time do its work. When framed this way, the game becomes a soothing ritual rather than a task list. Ultimately, Garden In! is a lovingly crafted ode to growth, creativity, and calm. It won’t appeal to players looking for complexity, but for those who appreciate gentle pacing, soft aesthetics, and relaxed sandbox play, it offers a cozy and restorative experience. Whether you’re tending a digital terrarium to unwind after a long day or crafting the perfect virtual plant-filled nook, Garden In! provides a charming little sanctuary where patience blossoms into beauty.

It's the kind of relaxing game you play in short sessions as the plants keep growing even when you're not playing. The flower breeding angle is super fun and the game have a LOT to offer with decorating each of your rooms in various themes!

A chill semi-idle game about raising a variety of alien plants. Raising different species and combinations of species unlocks new seeds, soils, and room decorations to customize your growing space. Plants grow in realtime so especially early on gameplay consists of potting and watering various flowers and then coming to check up on them later. Once you've unlocked enough decorations you can then fully customize the furniture, shelving, and pots available. Plants don't die when neglected; their growth is just frozen until you've seen to their needs, so there's no real time pressure to keep checking up on things unless you want to. There's a variety of hybrid seeds and species to collect, and the game can be a nice little break between more involved games.

🌸 Garden In! Review 🪴 A stunningly beautiful game! I loved growing all the different plants—each one felt unique. Even the same plant could grow in different ways, adding a lovely touch of variety. You could fill an entire room with just one type of plant, yet each would have its own distinct look! I was pleasantly surprised to find you can also decorate rooms with furniture. I initially thought the focus was purely on plant-growing, but designing cosy and cute spaces made me incredibly happy. I love games that allow decorating, so this was a wonderful addition! (Made a gaming space) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3427210310 Alongside growing plants and decorating, there are challenges to complete that unlock new furniture and special seasonal items like Halloween and Christmas-themed decorations. These are all available to unlock—you just choose which one to work on, earning new flower seeds and furniture as rewards. (My garden, with cozy picnic area, farm and plenty plants) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3426647346 I did encounter a few bugs, such as the watering can/spray bottle not always working, daily quest flowers not registering progress until restarting the game, and plants continuing to grow while the game was closed but later stopping once I unlocked more rooms. This made growing plants slower, requiring AFK time to help them along. The art style is adorable and sweet, and the in-game music is wonderfully relaxing. The achievements are easy, though they took some time due to the plant growth bug I encountered. Overall, Garden In! is a delightful and soothing game. Enjoy growing your beautiful plants 💐 Tip: If you want to find more reviews like this, check out our curator page [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41527689/]Moon's Tea House
