Gorgeous.
Carnivorous.

Nawak, a tiny black creature with huge eyes and a yellow crown, tears through toxic greenhouses, hostile rose gardens and carnivorous conservatories. Beneath the flowers and waterfalls: traps, living platforms and vegetal monsters.

Cartoon manga, a baroque garden and absurd gore. Sap, spores and unlucky vegetables fly everywhere. The signs are sarcastic. The bosses are even less welcoming.

The Garden is only the beginning: the game will feature many levels across varied worlds, each with its own atmosphere, art direction and mechanics.

Cartoon violence and fictional vegetal gore.
