What it is
The UnderGarden is a casual puzzle adventure from Artech Digital Entertainment, set in underground caverns populated by unusual life forms. You explore at your own pace, searching for members of a musical band and guiding them together toward the surface. The journey combines environmental puzzles with physics-based obstacles: grow fruit to weigh down levers or raise platforms, and cultivate exotic plants to bring dormant surroundings to life with color and music. Strange creatures may need to be befriended or avoided as you move through new areas and look for hidden secrets. Its accessible pick-up-and-play controls support a relaxed style of exploration rather than a rush through objectives. The game offers single-player play, and its listed features also include Family Sharing. It was released in 2010 and is listed for Windows and PlayStation 3, with Windows specified for the Steam version.
