Evaluation

Viridi launched on August 19, 2015 as a free-to-play succulent gardening game. It received major content updates in October 2015 and June 2016, then went quiet for several years while the team focused on their other game, Tenderfoot Tactics (released October 2020). After a roughly seven-year content gap, the developer returned to Viridi on October 21, 2025 with the Crystal Gyroscope Update — described as "our first Viridi update since 2018." This update added two new decorative pots, a new unlockable environment (the Elven Throne), engine upgrades including a new 64-bit macOS build, and a variety of quality-of-life improvements. Quick follow-up patches arrived on October 22 and 24, 2025 to address feedback from the update. Most recently, on April 20, 2026, the developer posted a small bug fix along with a cheerful seasonal note. No specific future content has been announced, but the developer has clearly resumed active work on the game. The most recent communication was April 20, 2026, and there is no indication the developer considers Viridi finished. The store description also highlights the in-game nursery's weekly free seeding feature, reinforcing the game's ongoing live nature.

About this game

Nurture a small pot of succulents that grow in real time.

Viridi is a safe haven, a place you can return to for a moment of peace and quiet whenever you need it.

Leave Viridi open in a second window to keep you company while you work, or check in on your plants as a meditative moment every night. While not fully realistic (they're very forgiving), your succulents will require some maintenance and can die from over- or under-watering. Name your favorite plants, give them special care and attention, and they might even flower for you.

Viridi is free to try and comes with your choice of plant assortments. If you think it has a place in your life, you can buy your favorite plants from the in-game nursery for just a few cents a piece. Remember to visit the nursery occasionally for the weekly free seeding!
