About Terra Nil
About this game
Terra Nil is a game about transforming a barren, lifeless landscape into a thriving, vibrant ecosystem. Turn dead soil into fertile grassland, clean polluted oceans, plant sprawling forests, and create the ideal habitat for animals to call home. Then recycle your buildings and leave no trace that you were there. Reclaim the wasteland.
A reverse city builder
Use advanced eco-technology to purify the soil, creating plains, wetlands, beaches, rainforests, wildflowers, and more—then efficiently recycle everything you've built, leaving the environment pristine for its new animal inhabitants.
Different maps every time
Procedurally generated landscapes mean no two playthroughs of Terra Nil will ever be the same. Plan your build around randomized, challenging, and unpredictable terrain, including snaking rivers, mountains, lowlands, and oceans.
A natural ebb and flow
Each region of Terra Nil progresses through phases, with the ultimate goal being leaving the pristine wilderness behind. Levels are not about infinite growth, but rather balancing and nurturing the environment before leaving it in peace.
Experience tranquillity
Lush hand-painted environments, relaxing music, and an atmospheric ambient soundscape make Terra Nil a peaceful, meditative experience. When you're done, use Appreciate mode to bask in the natural beauty of the ecosystem you have restored.

Terra Nil is a very... experiencial game. I would say it's a game which has a lot of intangibles -
Presentation:
The sound design is great, wasteland turning to greenery has a great pop to it, the music is relaxed and very zen relying on very loose and sparse which emphasises the emptiness of the world you're in. The menus are quite utilitarian, but they're absolutely not the focus of the game.
Gameplay:
If you're looking for a reverse city builder, you will unfortunately be disappointed, there is no much of a city builder here, it plays more like a puzzle game in which you develop viable biomes for animals over something more intricate. the game is also quite short in that regard - 8 (procedurally generated) levels if you 100% the game. But each level can take up to an hour.
All in all, i'd recommend the game. Though the price is quite steep for what it is.

Good game, both relaxing and challenging. Even if replayable, it's not long enough and it doesn't push you to play again the same scenarios.
