Description
About This Game
You inherited your grandma's house. In her will, she said it's been unattended for years. She mentions in the letter that a strange man will buy the weeds you pull from the yard.
How it works
The weeds have invaded everything from the fountains to the driveway to the abandoned shed that was supposedly never finished.
When you pull a weed, it resists. When it comes out, it comes out with a satisfying pop. Be impatient and the root snaps.
You'll never see the buyer. Use that money to upgrade your tools. At first, it will be slow by hand, but with the right tools the weeds will be cleared in no time.
Pull the last weed and the day ends. Walk your yard and admire it, once again.
What this isn't
No timer. No failure state. Just the steady, meditative task of pulling weeds out of your yard. Under an hour.
