Cultivate what matters. Cut away the rest. Prune is a love letter to trees–a puzzle game about cultivating growth and the joy of letting go. Grow and shape your tree into the sunlight while avoiding the dangers of a hostile world. Bring life to a forgotten landscape and uncover a story hidden deep beneath the soil. Elegant simplicity - click and drag to plant your tree. Then, as it quickly grows before your eyes, prune away unwanted branches. Bloom enough flowers to complete each level. A meditation - an antidote to today's overstimulated, always-on world. Take a deep breath, stay awhile. Timeless story - explore the evolving dance between civilization and nature, seen through the quiet eyes of trees Respects your time - a focused 1–2 hour experience designed to stay with you long after it ends Now on PC - experience every branch, bloom, and abstract landscape in full-screen detail, where every level is a piece of art. Enjoy the rich soundscape, featuring a beautifully orchestrated score by Kyle Preston. Deeper roots – finished the main story? Uncover additional challenges, for those who seek more. 

Press reviews: “Prune is unlike anything I've played before, an original and strange game that's both soothing and absorbing.” The Verge “Every aspect of Prune works together to create an engaging, enjoyable and calm experience. Highly recommended.” Polygon “Sometimes the things that move us come in deceptively austere trappings, like that rarest of short stories, paintings or musical vignette.” TIME Magazine
