Dustbunny: Emotional Connection to Plants Fosters Therapeutic Healing

Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants: A Therapeutic Android Game for Emotional Wellbeing

This charming Android game, Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants, tackles personal emotional struggles in a unique and engaging way. The game begins with a meeting with your guide, Empathy – a friendly rabbit who leads you through a personalized mental journey.

Developed by Antientropic, this therapeutic simulator allows you to create your own calming sanctuary. It blends cozy room decorating with a deeply personal emotional experience, drawing inspiration from the creative director's experiences during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Key Features:

Start in a tranquil, empty room. As you collect "emotibuns"—small, shy creatures representing your hidden emotions—and nurture them, they transform into beautiful plants, illuminating both your virtual space and your inner world. Your collection will eventually include a variety of plants, from monsteras and philodendrons to alocasia and rare hybrid unicorns, mirroring your personal growth.

The game includes several engaging minigames and activities, such as flying paper airplanes, preparing different Cup Ramyun flavors, and playing retro Game Boy games. These activities provide energy and collectibles to help you care for your flourishing garden. More than 20 care cards offer various actions, including watering, misting, and observing your plants, with a range of tools at your disposal.

Social Connection and Self-Discovery:

Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants features a "Doors" function, where you can personalize your door with symbols and stickers reflecting your unique journey. You can visit other players' doors, leave messages, and share in their progress.

The game incorporates elements of compassion-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques through Empathy's guidance and activities. It promotes self-care, self-acceptance, and self-love. The stickers and designs provide a fun and relaxing way to express your thoughts and feelings.
