What you are walking into
Viridi is a simulation video game developed by Ice Water Games. It tasks players to look after a pot of succulents. While not fully realistic (they're very forgiving), your succulents will require some maintenance and can die from over- or under-watering. Name your favorite plants, give them special care and attention, and they might even flower for you.
