Description
Bonsai trees can live hundreds of years. Who will inherit this living being? What will they think of you in 2178? Will they think of you at all?
The Bonsai Diary is a contemplative plant-nurturing game, part solo journaling RPG and part meditative sketchbook. Play is straightforward – your bonsai ‘grows’ when you turn the page, trace the plant from the previous page, and add something new. Meet your bonsai as a seedling and watch it grow as the years pass. Follow your tree through time, telling its story as it lives beyond its original caretaker. What does the future hold?
Unlike a real tree, this bonsai can be made any way your heart desires. Use ink or graphite. Use brushes, pens, pencils, or anything in between. Use color or opt for grayscale. Great for artists, houseplant fans, cozy story gamers, and anyone seeking a simple, soothing routine. Grow a beautiful little plant that requires no water and no light, only the energy from your imagination.
- 32-page B&W zine, 7″x10″
- The game is, itself, both the sketchbook and play journal, though you might wish to grow your plant on external paper if you’re working with messier mediums like paint
