From Press Release:
Hamburg, Germany (November 17, 2025) – Positive Impact Games, an independent developer made up of games industry veterans, is delighted to formally announce soilpunk simulation game The Regreening. Restore this world in this wholesome sim, in development for PC.
Transform a barren wasteland into a lush paradise in this cozy simulation game about restoring nature. Become Viri, a descendant of Earthbound humans who refused to abandon their home. Tasked with bringing nature back to the world, you’ll revive biomes, regrow by planting and cultivating seeds, and repair relationships with folkloric animals, all with a touch of magic.
Built around the idea that one person can make a world of difference, Viri will travel between unlockable biomes, cleaning them up, managing the environment, and caring for the unique, biodiverse plants she’ll begin to grow there. Progress by completing quests and storylines with friendly NPCs, including building new habitats for animals to return to, and earn new seeds, decor, and crafting recipes along the way!
The Regreening is ultimately a game about healing the bond between humans and nature and rebuilding a sense of harmony in the natural world. In addition to a rich ecosystem featuring planting strengths and weaknesses and water distribution, you’ll also need to improve the relationships with mysterious NPCs connected to the land, ensuring that you care for them as much as nature.
Key Features of The Regreening
- Restore: Clean, manage, and unlock entire biomes by taking care of the environments, improving soil tiles by growing plants, creating animal habitats, and fixing the ecosystem for all of the creatures that call it home.
- Recycle: Build your very own upcycling hub and turn collected trash into crafted treasure, making use of crafting recipes earned by completing NPC quests. Use your crafts to generate buffs as well as decorations for your Earthship Home.
- Relax: Featuring no timers, no pressure, and a wonderful soundtrack of nature sounds, this is designed to be a laidback, soothing game.
The Regreening is in development for PC and is available to wishlist via Steam.
