Mosswood Meadow is a cozy incremental about a clearing that has gone back to the wild, and the small creatures who learn how you play.

You clear the moss, leaves and brambles for Nature Energy, and spend it on wildflowers, ponds, orchards and lanterns. Everything you plant gathers dew, and dew brings creatures out of the treeline. And those creatures watch. Keep clearing and one of them decides that is its job. Gather dew and another becomes a Forager. Pet them and one learns to look after the rest. No two of them ever take the same job, and no two meadows raise quite the same folk.
What is in this one
- Your folk have stopped doing everything for you. They used to clear a new glade, plant it, and spend your energy on it inside a minute. Now they finish the second half of a clearing and never start the first — and they will tell you what they would have planted instead.
- A glade's price holds still. It is fixed the moment the glade is offered, and the panel says exactly what is still to find.
- The account book. Hover the "from layout" figure and it opens up: what your planting is worth, the soil you have turned, the water you have carried, and what they come to together.
- Every plant looks different, and the grander ones are drawn bigger.
- Point at a patch and it tells you what it is — any plant, any patch of wild ground, any bit of terrain.
- A share button, so you can post your meadow when it is worth showing off.
- Weeds come back faster in the early game, so there is always something to do and something to earn.
Two editions, one game. The Free Edition is three clearings with every system in it — all five creatures, the water and the soil, the links between plants, the wildlife, the weather. The $5 Supporter Edition opens the rest of the valley, as far as you care to go. Nothing is locked away; you are buying land.
It runs in a browser. Nothing to install, and your meadow is saved on the device you play on.
If you do, I would love to know what your folk turned into.
