Dustbunny: Emotions to Plants 4+

Catch hidden creatures and grow them into plants! Dustbunny is a warm, relaxing journey of reconnecting with your repressed emotions.

Dustbunny is not just an idle game. Dustbunny is a warm, relaxing yet guided journey of reconnecting with your repressed emotions, where the emotions are cute creatures that like to hide. If you catch one and let it express itself, it can grow into a beautiful plant - some into extremely rare plants! Care for your plants with fun interactions like watering, catching pests and so much more - you can even sing for your plant. Relax with minigames like catching bubbles in your bubble tea. As your room becomes your safe space, you might encounter your inner child in the room's hidden depths.

There was always a void inside your mind, like a sinkhole. One day, you woke up inside the void.
You find yourself in a dusty, abandoned room, greeted by a friendly bunny who seems to hold the keys to the secrets of the room.

There are some things you can do in this room.


⁕ Catch your repressed emotions ⁕
As you look around the dusty room, you might encounter Emotibuns - shy creatures that like to disguise as dustbunnies. They come from your repressed emotions, such as sadness, anger, anxiety, loneliness, and emptiness. They're extremely fast so you need to keep your eyes peeled and fingers ready! Once you catch and name an Emotibun, it will burst into its emotion and sprout into a plant. Each plant will have an ID card that logs your journey of care and growth.

⁕ Love your plants & yourself ⁕
What's your love language? There are over 20 different ways to love and care for your plants. Using Care Cards, you can do basic care like watering, catching pests, and feeding your plant, as well as actions like touching, singing, and writing to your plant. Each plant is one-of-a-kind and grows dynamically to communicate with you - they sparkle when healthy, get droopy when sick, and even jump out of the pots sometimes. As you learn to love and care for your plants, we hope to remind you to do so for yourself, too.

⁕ Collect rare plants ⁕
Each Emotibun sprouts into a unique plant species - it could be a common plant or the rarest unicorn plant. You'll be challenged to collect all the plants in the Plant Index. Rare plants have genetic mutation called variegation, which causes unique patterns on leaves. Advanced players can also unlock abilities to create one-of-a-kind hybrid plants.

⁕ Befriend Empathy ⁕
You'll be guided by Empathy, a friendly bunny with wings! Empathy will give you daily affirmations and stop by your room to share some wisdom about emotional regulation and self-love.

⁕ Get cozy with nostalgic objects ⁕
Every object is interactable. Play minigames with nostalgic objects in your room like bubble tea, plushies, and cup noodles. Some objects will help you relax; others will make you hold your breath!

⁕ Decorate your dream room ⁕
The in-game shop is updated daily with adorable decor options and furniture. You'll find anything from Ghibli-inspired cottagecore to mid-century modern. Create your dream room and share it with our community!

⁕ Complete your narrative ⁕
Uncover the story behind the room and the five emotions as you progress. You'll find yourself looking within to meet your inner child.
