Garden Trills is an upcoming cozy adventure game where players control Tomi, a small sparrow exploring floating gardens, completing quests, and building relationships with bird neighbors. The game blends gardening and exploration mechanics, where players plant magical flowers to solve puzzles and navigate the environment. Flying is limited by a stamina meter, making strategic use of flowers essential for reaching higher areas.
The game’s charm lies in its heartwarming storytelling and teamwork-based quests. For example, Tomi sings to call her parents for help with tasks like watering plants or opening umbrellas. The visual style is whimsical, and the controls are intuitive, creating a relaxing yet engaging experience.
While the game has received praise for its cute aesthetics and smooth mechanics, some players found its anthropomorphic bird behaviors a bit too human-like, potentially affecting immersion. Others wished for a more developed backstory and adjustable in-game features like the stamina meter.
Overall, Garden Trills looks promising and is set to release on 12 December 2024.
