arborescent.xyz was founded in 2020 by a team of nature enthusiasts and simulation game developers with a mission to create an immersive, educational game that celebrates forest ecosystems and encourages environmental stewardship. Based in Seattle, Washington, our team of 9 developers, ecologists, and artists combines expertise in simulation mechanics, botany, and visual design to craft a realistic and engaging forest-building experience.
Our flagship title, Arborescent: Forest Keeper, invites players to grow and manage their own virtual forest, with over 50 unique tree species, 30+ wildlife creatures, and dynamic weather systems that impact ecosystem health. Players can design landscapes, plant saplings, protect wildlife habitats, and restore damaged forest areas—all while learning about real-world forest conservation. The game features stunning 3D graphics, ambient nature sounds, and a gentle progression system that rewards patience and thoughtful management.
What sets us apart is our commitment to scientific accuracy. We collaborate with forest ecologists to ensure tree growth patterns, wildlife behaviors, and ecosystem dynamics reflect real-world biology. We also integrate educational content, with in-game fact cards about forest conservation, tree species, and climate resilience. Our community is focused on sustainability, with forums where players share tips for virtual forest management and real-world environmental actions.
Since launching, arborescent.xyz has grown to over 140,000 registered players, including families, educators, and environmental advocates. The game has been used in classrooms to teach ecology and conservation, and we’ve partnered with environmental organizations to create in-game events that raise awareness for reforestation efforts. Our commitment to community feedback has led to major updates, including new tree species, wildlife interactions, cross-platform play support, and a mobile version optimized for touch controls.
Looking to the future, we’re expanding Arborescent: Forest Keeper with a cooperative mode that lets players collaborate on large-scale reforestation projects, a "forest scientist" mini-game where players study and document virtual wildlife, and more detailed climate simulation features (e.g., droughts, wildfire recovery). We’re also developing a physical merchandise line (tree-planting kits, forest-themed educational materials) to extend our conservation mission beyond the game.
At arborescent.xyz, our mission is to inspire players to connect with nature, learn about forest ecosystems, and become advocates for environmental protection. Whether you’re a casual player looking to relax with a virtual forest or an educator seeking an engaging teaching tool, we welcome you to join our community of forest keepers.
