About Little Habitats
Raise land, lay stone paths, dig a pond, and sow a few seeds on a tiny island in a turquoise sea. Plants choose their own homes: sunflowers and lavender on sunny rises, ferns and foxgloves in the shade, lilies on the water. Then wait. Bees, butterflies, frogs, hedgehogs, koi, fireflies, and more arrive one by one and fill your Visitors' Journal as the garden turns through day, night, and all four seasons.

It feels like a finished cozy toy rather than a quick demo, from the seasonal lighting to the gentle interface, and it plays on phones as well as desktop. Start with your own patch of soil or explore the ready-made sample garden.
