About Doom & Bloom

Play as a wizard-turned-gardener, tasked with with protecting magical gardens spread across multiple biomes. Each garden is managed by a living magical structure, the Heartvine, which will give you tasks to complete. Complete the tasks and ensure the Heartvine survives long enough to permanently enchant the biome and protect its garden.

As magical bugs attack the Heartvine and eat your crops, there is only one way to fight the enchanted creatures: shrink down to their size and engage in hand-to-hand combat! Fight with a sword, fling spells to defeat them, and grow defensive plants to fight back against the bugs.

Answer mail, purchase items in the shop, and sell your crops to make a profit and expand your farm! You start in the classic farming plains biome, and over time you can expand into the fae forest, dwarven caverns, and more biomes.

Upcoming updates include decorating your home, brewing potions, and exploring bug-infested caves.

Doom and Bloom is a real-time, single-player farming–exploration game with light action, strategic planning, and systemic pressure.
