Tiny Roar, developers of the upcoming Lou’s Lagoon, and Megabit, the publishing arm of Aonic, today unveiled Verdant, a coming-of-age survival adventure that follows Sprout, a young adventurer emerging into a world reshaped by war. Revealed during the Wholesome Snack showcase, Verdant blends resourceful survival and player agency within a vibrant yet dangerous world reclaimed by nature.
Get a first look at Verdant here:
In Verdant, players traverse a lush, post-apocalyptic landscape where mutated flora and fauna flourish and remnants of 1980s human culture linger untouched. As Sprout sets out in search of food, loot and a sense of his place in the world, he discovers a miraculous infection has armed him with remarkable powers that allow him to give or take life essence from nature. As a result, he must balance his need to survive against his impact on the environment, forcing players into difficult, in-the-moment choices that can help Sprout endure or leave lasting marks on the world around him.
“Verdant is a hopeful coming-of-age story,” commented Maurice Hagelstein, co-founder of Tiny Roar and Director of Verdant. “Throughout Sprout’s journey players will encounter difficult moral choices and moments of poignant nostalgia as they balance their own survival against the needs of the natural world. We’re excited to show players more of Verdant in the future.”
Key Features:
- A changed world: Explore a post-apocalyptic landscape overtaken by nature yet frozen in the culture and technology of the 1980s.
- Be the catalyst: Use Sprout’s life-essence powers to reshape the world or to ensure your survival.
- Survive the wild: Craft, gather resources, and outsmart enemies while managing hunger, hydration, and rest.
- Define your destiny: Piece together how the world changed and determine your role in its future.
