What Are the Features of Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants?

Your journey begins in a serene, abandoned room where Empathy assists you in unlocking parts of your psyche by capturing elusive creatures known as 'emotibuns.' These represent your concealed emotions, and the real magic unfolds when you catch them. Each emotibun you nurture transforms into a stunning plant, enhancing your room's ambiance and symbolizing the illumination of your inner world. As you progress, your sanctuary becomes adorned with an array of unique plants, including monsteras, philodendrons, alocasia, and rare unicorn hybrids, reflecting your personal growth and journey.

The game is packed with engaging minigames and activities designed to deepen your bond with your room and its flora. Activities like flying Paper Planes, concocting flavors of Cup Ramyun, and playing on a retro Gameboi provide you with energy and collectibles necessary for nurturing your plants. With over 20 different Care Cards, you can perform actions such as watering, misting, and observing, equipped with a variety of tools to aid your gardening efforts.

It’s a Personal Adventure but with a Social Twist

Dustbunny: Emotion to Plants introduces the 'Doors' feature, allowing you to personalize your door with symbols and stickers that tell your unique story.
