Description

About the Game



Terra Nil is a game about transforming a barren, lifeless landscape into a thriving, vibrant ecosystem. Turn dead soil into fertile grassland, clean polluted oceans, plant sprawling forests, and create the ideal habitat for animals to call home. Then recycle your buildings and leave no trace that you were there. Reclaim the wasteland.

A reverse city builder

Use advanced eco-technology to purify the soil, creating plains, wetlands, beaches, rainforests, wildflowers, and more—then efficiently recycle everything you've built, leaving the environment pristine for its new animal inhabitants.

Different maps every time

Procedurally generated landscapes mean no two playthroughs of Terra Nil will ever be the same. Plan your build around randomized, challenging, and unpredictable terrain, including snaking rivers, mountains, lowlands, and oceans.

A natural ebb and flow

Each region of Terra Nil progresses through phases, with the ultimate goal being leaving pristine wilderness behind. Levels are not about infinite growth, but rather balancing and nurturing the environment before leaving it in peace.

Experience tranquility

Lush hand-painted environments, relaxing music, and an atmospheric ambient soundscape make Terra Nil a peaceful, meditative experience. When you're done, use Appreciate mode to bask in the natural beauty of the ecosystem you have restored.

They ruined it! This was an awesome game, but the latest update makes it basically unplayable for me. I play games like this to relax when I'm exhausted, with the difficulty turned off. But you can't turn off the new

Very chill game. Can be tricky sometimes to work out what order to do things in, but I'm pretty sure that's the point! Would recommend if you enjoy city builders, it's sort of like the anti-city builder in that you're

Pretty nice if you just want to sit down and relax with a reverse-city builder. I just wish there was room for replayability but it doesn't seem like the devs have any plans to "fill up" the vast blank spaces on the

This was an ok casual puzzler. A bit meh, but not worth a review one way or another. I was playing a level every month or two when stuck waiting with my laptop. Now for some reason it has a tacked on photo mode. I

An interesting concept, I can't tell you how much I played the demo back in the day. The release feel half baked though, especially the latter half of the game where they just throw ideas at the wall to see what sticks

Cute little puzzle game with environmentalist themes. The performance is not what I think it should be and it can get somewhat janky sometimes but overall was enjoyable. Wish there was a bit more content.
