Description
About This Game
Cultivate a balcony garden in this cozy, witchy, semi-idle sim where life and death are both parts of growth! Leave the game running as a vibey companion in the background, or step in for more in-depth gameplay. Steal a moment to balance water and fertilizer, ward off pests, learn spells and brew potions, and explore the narrative at your own pace.
Step into the shoes of a young necromancer tending their late grandmother’s garden. Not blessed with her green thumb, they must rely on necromancy to bring plants back to undead life and tend the spectral flowers.
Grow into the Greenhearth community as you grow your garden, getting to know your neighbours and your grandmother’s familiar spirit, Compostifer. Uncover a heartfelt narrative from the BAFTA-nominated writer of I Was a Teenage Exocolonist all about community, grief, early adulthood, and the natural cycles of life.
Care for your garden — nurture living and undead plants to make a balcony oasis uniquely your own.
Cast powerful spells — resurrect withered plants, speed growth, repel pests, and even alter plant traits with necromantic energy.
Embrace the cycle of life and undeath — bring dead plants back to (un)life and discover special traits and yields unlocked through transformation.
Redefine failure — every shrivelled leaf is just the start of another journey!
Find your place in the community — befriend your neighbours, piece together your grandmother’s magical research, and uncover a deeper narrative.
Idle, stress-free play — let the game run while you work or study, and return when you’re ready for meaningful bursts of care.
Set the vibe — choose from lofi beats to calm ambience to productivity drum and bass, or relax to the peaceful sounds of your garden.

Content Warning: Greenhearth Necromancer features themes and mechanics of death, loss, and grief, including terminal illness and the death of loved ones. The protagonist must also navigate social anxieties, including awkward and occasionally adversarial scenes with other characters who live in the same building. We have striven to handle these topics delicately, thoughtfully, and with compassion, however, they are interwoven into the narrative, integral to the protagonist's journey, and cannot be avoided.
