There seems to be a trend lately for games that claim to aid players maintain their mental well-being. Of course, many of these words are just platitudes, but it seems that some people go to great lengths to stick to them. We remind you of today’s topic: Dustbunny: Emotions for plants.
Marketing itself as an experience dedicated to mental well-being, Dustbunny’s goal is to decorate a dusty, abandoned room with all kinds of plants and decorations. The catch is that each plant initially manifests itself as a diminutive creature that must be caught and nurtured, slowly growing it and filling the once empty space.
Yes, it’s not the most subtle metaphor for mental well-being, but it’s pretty uncomplicated to identify how it can aid players relax. Even cultivating emotibuns (as they’re called that) isn’t necessarily the only goal, as you can also play mini-games with specific items around the room. Dustbunny is now available on iOS and Android, so give it a try!

I like the sound of Dustbunny – too often it seems like those looking for thrills or themes like that are guided by the developer’s pace. I think there’s a lot of value in the idea of giving players a more open space to explore these topics. Add to that the developer’s commitment to focus on community rather than overdevelopment, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Dustbunny gained a cult following.
