Dustbunny: Emotions to Plants 4+

Dustbunny is currently in Early Access, with Version 1 on the way!

Dustbunny is more than just an idle game; it’s a warm and relaxing journey that guides you in reconnecting with your repressed emotions. In this whimsical world, your emotions manifest as adorable creatures called Emotibuns, who love to hide and need your help to express themselves. By catching these shy creatures, you can grow them into beautiful plants—some of which are extremely rare! Engage in fun interactions like watering, pest control, and even singing to your plants. Enjoy relaxing mini-games, such as catching bubbles in your bubble tea, all while transforming your room into a safe space where you may encounter your inner child.

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 explore the dusty room, keep an eye out for Emotibuns—shy creatures that disguise themselves as dust bunnies. They represent your repressed emotions, such as sadness, anger, anxiety, loneliness, and emptiness. These creatures are quick, so stay alert! Once you catch and name an Emotibun, it will express its emotion and sprout into a unique plant, complete with an ID card to log your journey of care and growth.

⁕ Love your plants & yourself ⁕
What’s your love language? With over 20 ways to nurture your plants, you can use Care Cards for basic tasks like watering and pest control, as well as more personal actions like singing and writing to them. Each plant is one-of-a-kind, growing dynamically to communicate with you—it sparkles when healthy, droops when sick, and might even jump out of its pot! As you learn to care for your plants, remember to extend that love to yourself, too.

⁕ Collect rare plants ⁕
Each Emotibun transforms into a unique plant species, ranging from common varieties to the elusive unicorn plant. Challenge yourself to collect all the plants in the Plant Index, and discover rare genetic mutations called variegation that create unique leaf patterns. Advanced players can unlock abilities to create one-of-a-kind hybrid plants.

⁕ Befriend Empathy ⁕
You’ll be guided by Empathy, a friendly, winged bunny! Empathy offers daily affirmations and shares wisdom about emotions and self-love to help you on your journey.

⁕ Get cozy with nostalgic objects ⁕
Every object in your room is interactive! Enjoy mini-games with nostalgic items like bubble tea, plushies, and cup noodles. Some will help you relax, while others might surprise you!

⁕ Decorate your dream room ⁕
The in-game shop updates daily with adorable decor and furniture options. From Ghibli-inspired cottagecore to mid-century modern styles, create your dream room and share it with our community!

Uncover the story behind the room and the five emotions as you progress, leading you to discover your inner child.
