From Press Release:
1st September, Amsterdam, Netherlands – Indie studio Noio (Kingdom & New Lands) is releasing their latest project Cloud Gardens on Xbox Series X / S and Xbox One today. The game is also leaving Steam Early Access with a hefty launch update (also included in the Xbox version).
In Cloud Gardens, players must harness the power of nature to overgrow lo-fi scenes of urban decay and manufactured landscapes. Dive into a relaxing sandbox mode with no goals, or take on a multi-chapter “campaign” where the task is to strike a balance between the natural and the manufactured. Adding objects will encourage lush vegetation to grow, but each object must be covered in foliage in order to proceed.
