Terra Nil is a game about transforming a barren, lifeless landscape into a thriving, vibrant ecosystem. Turn dead soil into fertile grassland, clean polluted oceans, plant sprawling forests, and create the ideal habitat for animals to call home. Then recycle your buildings and leave no trace that you were there. Reclaim the wasteland.

A reverse city builder

Use advanced eco-technology to purify the soil, creating plains, wetlands, beaches, rainforests, wildflowers, and more—then efficiently recycle everything you've built, leaving the environment pristine for its new animal inhabitants.

Different maps every time

Procedurally generated landscapes mean no two playthroughs of Terra Nil will ever be the same. Plan your build around randomized, challenging, and unpredictable terrain, including snaking rivers, mountains, lowlands, and oceans.

A natural ebb and flow

Each region of Terra Nil progresses through phases, with the ultimate goal being leaving pristine wilderness behind. Levels are not about infinite growth, but rather balancing and nurturing the environment before leaving it in peace.

Experience tranquility

Lush hand-painted environments, relaxing music, and an atmospheric ambient soundscape make Terra Nil a peaceful, meditative experience. When you're done, use Appreciate mode to bask in the natural beauty of the ecosystem you have restored.

I also have to admit that I play the prototype version much more often than the new version.

It kills my resources, the laptop gets really hot (and loud!) and I don't think that Unity was the right decision here.

But somehow, the prototype is more relaxing. Goals are clear. And buildings aren't changing through the game.

I played the version on Steam. And through Netflix, I played the mobile version. The demo on Steam for the new version was really more than I needed. The mobile version is crashing about every 50 Seconds, it's no fun in any way. Levels can't be completed mobile - I'm really glad someone thought about that debugging menu.

Buildings are changing about every second level, so you have to start over with learning. Goals aren't clear and hidden somewhere in that handbook. Graphics aren't everything for a game.

Prototype: 4 stars out of 5. If it wasn't that resource hungry, thus bad for the "real" nature, I would pay for it.

Full version: 2 stars. Same as above. But also the new buildings would have to be introduced "softer". Goals shouldn't be hidden in the handbook, but instead shown as in the prototype. And the mobile version would have to be rewritten from scratch in a native language. And no, 25 € is too much. It's just a few hours.

Top notch game, love it on Steamdeck.

hey was this ever a flash game or am i misremembering?

(+1)

I don’t know if it was made with flash but it was indeed an online game. If I remember correctly I played it on itchio a long time ago. They made it into a whole game!

(+1)

I don't believe it was flash but it was a free game made for a game jam about a year or 2 ago.

Wow, I saw this was the featured game in the magazine The Week Jr!

The devs have said that it's coming, but they're trying to fix performance issues.

This game is incredible and I've a question.

What is difference between itch.io's version and steam version?

I will wait for Mac OS release too...
Or maybe Nintendo Switch, who knows...

The MAC version is here !!

Will there be an app release?

(+3)

yes its out, but u need netflix to play it

(+2)(-4)

Netflix Games is a thing now, and they've been porting a ton of Indie games to the App Store. If you have Netflix, you can also play Oxenfree, Spiritfarer, Before Your Eyes, Into the Breach, 12 Minutes, Kentucky Route Zero, and Exploding Kittens among others, though I can't vouch for the quality

(+5)

TBH my first reaction when I heard that this supremely solarpunk game was only available through Netflix was also incredulity. :P

Congrats on the release! I would love to play this on Mac OS!

(+14)

Thank you! Mac and Linux builds are coming soon. We have working builds, but performance wasn't there yet, so we're working on them some more to get more acceptable fps before releasing those too.

Great to know they’re coming! Can’t wait for Linux support.

Yay thanks for letting me know! Looking forward to it 💕
