unlabelledView post →Few games feel quite as satisfying as the environmental restoration game Terra Nil. It's calming, gorgeous, and fun. There's a delight around every corner and quite a challenging puzzle kind enough to let you iterate. HIGHLY RECOMMEND in an era like this. #games
unlabelledView post →They're got REALLY good range. They also made environmentalist puzzle-strategy game Terra Nil.
unlabelledView post →Maybe check out other stuff they've made? I did that with Devolver Digital, I liked the company & wanted to support them but didn't like their most recent game, so I looked at other stuff they'd published and found Terra Nil which I love. No More Robots have lots of games to choose from

unlabelledView post →Nice! When reviewed Terra Nil at launch, my only real issue with it is that it never gave its ideas long enough to properly explore them. They've released several updates since that fix exactly that. Great little puzzle-strategy game and an easy recommendation.

unlabelledView post →Random game rec but I forgot how amazing Terra Nil is (there's a new update) - if you like resource management + puzzle games and healing the planet/ecology - check it out. It's really wonderful 😭
unlabelledView post →I'm so happy to finally announce Combolands, my first game since Terra Nil. Wishlists would be much appreciated :)
unlabelledView post →Happy #TurnBasedThursday everyone :) This is such a cool initiative! We just released a new update to our reverse city building game, Terra Nil yesterday. Currently 60% off on Steam Check it out: store.steampowered.com/news/app/159... #gamedev #indiedev
unlabelledView post →An eco-automation game: Satisfactory rather than Terra Nil: you're not filling a bucket, you're achieving a flow over time Uniquely, automation that can get away from you via feedback loops, from biome expansion and population growth to trophic cascades and resource deserts. Everything in balance.
unlabelledView post →I'll end my environmentalism ranting on a positive. Shoutouts to "Terra Nil" for being a game that walks the tightrope between being wholesome and comfortable and cute, while still being protectively optimistic and positive.
unlabelledView post →Terra Nil is the name, greening out is the game. Wait. Terra Nil is also the game. twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun
unlabelledView post →I'm really enjoying the game Terra Nil I got on Steam recently. It's a terraforming game, and it feels good to play something where the goal is to restore and create, especially in these times.
unlabelledView post →I don't know what reality I enter when playing citybuilder games of any kind like I saw my Terra Nil vod and for a second was very confused what game it was and then surprised that's how it looked like I played it for SIX HOURS
unlabelledView post →Is 'Terra Nil' appropriate? It's a city-builder style game about reforming wastelands.
unlabelledView post →If anyone is looking for a nice relaxing computer game to play, Terra Nil is perfect. It's a solarpunk-y strategy/puzzle game where you use various mechanics to restore blighted ecosystems. Watching things green up and animals return is indescribably satisfying.
unlabelledView post →Tonight we'll peek at Mythmatch and Little Chef: Cozy Cooking then jump into Collector's Cove. Tomorrow, back to Dinkum. Friday we'll check out a selection from the "pick a game for Ravvy" redeem: an environmental strategy game called Terra Nil. Saturday in BitCraft I'll work on gear upgrades. LIB💜
unlabelledView post →Spent a couple of days playing a game called Terra Nil, sleeping a lot, and doing little else, and guess what I feel a bit better. I think games (certain ones anyways) are good for my brain.
unlabelledView post →Heya! Started Murderbot on your rec, Pat. 4 episodes in and love it! Finished Loom twice (EGA and VGA) Notable progress with Dungeons of Hinterburg. Really enjoying it! More 3d Zelda-likes please! Started Terra Nil. Really fun restore the Earth puzzleish game. Relaxing and cathartic!
unlabelledView post →It happened to me: I stayed up too late to play Terra Nil, a game where you restore environmentally degraded landscapes
unlabelledView post →I’ve played Terra Nil! It was hella lovely & is probably my favorite take on a city builder style game ☺️

unlabelledView post →Have you seen Terra Nil or Timberborn? store.steampowered.com/app/1593030/... and store.steampowered.com/app/1062090/... -- first one is full restoration, second one is creating a sustainable ecosystem and little civ with beavers
unlabelledView post →Fredo's Game-Os: Terra Nil Been spending some time with this one since Silksong got cancelled (😈) and it's quite interesting! The premise is that it is a "reverse city builder" - You are working to basically reclaim the environment for nature on each map, restoring plants, biomes, animals, etc
unlabelledView post →Also I'll say I'm not normally a resource management gamer but something about Terra Nil hits right, I think even if you don't like resource management but you like a game with a really positive message you'll still enjoy it
unlabelledView post →We gon be saving some aminals! Very exctied to try out Terra Nil! it's a cute game about habitat resorations and reversing like, global pollution~ Will be live on twitch.tv/lijourt at 3pm EST #Vtuber #Goblin #Cow
unlabelledView post →Yes, Baldur's Gate is going to sweep it. But Terra Nil - a beautiful little science fiction indie game about rewilding a pollution-ruined world - was SO good: story and system and thematic goals all in harmony, which to me is what game-as-art is all about.
unlabelledView post →Oh, Terra Nil. Can't believe I forgot to put that in the list of resource management games I've played. You terraform wastelands, build tech to bring back nature, and then recycle everything so there's no trace you were there. Plays great on Deck. #Blutoid store.steampowered.com/app/1593030/...

unlabelledView post →I haven't played The Wandering Village since its early access launch so I'm super excited to see how it's changed since then, and Terra Nil is probably my favourite nature themed game, they're both EXCELLENT!! come hang out and see what all the fuss is about and why I love them :D
unlabelledView post →Check it out! This is super cool, being made by some of the people behind the awesome Terra Nil, and I really want this to get a chance to become a full game! They just need downloads to be able to prove that it can be a full project... 🥺
unlabelledView post →Officially taking a moment to enjoy a video game. Today’s hit: Terra Nil. I’d let you know how it goes but it’s on sale so perhaps grab it for yourself. ;) #solarPunk #buildBetterFutures www.terranil.com
unlabelledView post →It's not necessarily a #solarpunk game, but something for people who enjoyed #TerraNil : I just learned there's a #Factorio mod which completely changes the game, making you terraform a lifeless planet into a fully-functioning biosphere! https://mods.factorio.com/mod/nullius Instead of polluting and fighting the local life forms, you're seeding life and creating new ecosystems to become self-sustainable. With all the usual Factorio shenanigans. #games #gameDesign

unlabelledView post →Maybe you would enjoy Terra Nil www.theguardian.com/games/2023/m...
unlabelledView post →Currently working on something on the game Terra Nil: a beautiful game where you transform barren wasteland into thriving wild spaces. My favourite feature? Once you finish restoring an area, you can choose to stay and ‘appreciate’.Thriving natural worlds and hopeful futures ☮️ ✌🏻
unlabelledView post →Starting this up again today, thanks for your patience! Looks like I got more likes overnight. Next up is TERRA NIL. Love the twist on city builders, love the hope core and solar punk themes, love the music. Very replayable. 10/10. store.steampowered.com/app/1593030/...
unlabelledView post →Depending on how you want to set up your Venn diagrams for what counts as solar punk i could call the game "Terra Nil" the one piece of practical solar punk art that comes to mind. It's a charming puzzle game about restoring damaged ecosystems then packing your stuff up and leaving the biome alone.
unlabelledView post →I hadn't realized I never properly 100% restored the Terra Nil world. Been chipping at it these past few days and... done! Such a fun game.
unlabelledView post →Combolands is really fun! You should check out the demo if you like building interesting synergies and having your brain tickled by very satisfying sound effects. It's @vfqd.itch.io (of Terra Nil fame)'s newest game. store.steampowered.com/app/4075620/... (I'm not affiliated, just a fan)
unlabelledView post →Today's video is Terra Nil, a strategic terraforming game where you try to restore life to a ruined Earth! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m6X...
unlabelledView post →Beat and cleared Terra Nil. There's some cheevos I didn't get but it's probably fine. It's a pretty relaxing light puzzle game about cleaning up the planet of pollution and such, with each map being somewhat random so it's not like there's one specific solution. x.com/jared_shult/...
unlabelledView post →4 games that defined my 2025 Baldur's Gate 3 (again); Date Everything!; Terra Nil; and the last one's a toss up between several options but I'll go with Blue Prince because I'm obsessed enough with it that I study my handwritten notes and ponder clues even when I'm not actively playing lol
unlabelledView post →Randomly thought of the game Terra Nil and suddenly there's something akin to an epiphany about game mechanics and "what the game is about" threatening to break free before I can capture it in words.
unlabelledView post →96. Terra Nil "Satisfaction in Reclamation" Again, I love a game that can make a trailer with just long clips of the game being played. A key to this is understanding the game and the audience, and the folks at Devolver Digital nailed it with this chill vibes trailer!
unlabelledView post →Second vote for Terra Nil if you like a chill puzzle game. There's another one called Teku that's placing tiles to build an ecosystem.
unlabelledView post →6. A minor complaint; there is a flash effect when you take a "photo" of the dress. My other current game, Terra Nil, has this flash camera effect also and I don't know how to turn it off. I am very photosensitive.
unlabelledView post →I enjoyed my time with Terra Nil but it always left me wanting a game doing the same thing but deeper and more granularly so I am *very* stoked to see this
unlabelledView post →It's pretty frustrating how nobody has really nailed a pro-environmental survival crafting game. Planet Crafter is just an idle game with no actual climate and ecology simulation. Terra Nil was just order of operations puzzles with magic nature-restoring machines. It's always been skin deep.
unlabelledView post →🌟Week 1: Pixel/Chill Week🌟 Day 7 Last day of week one, so lets play some more Terra Nil to start off with. I wanna unlock the otters in this game!!! See how we go there and may switch to other games! Appreciate you all! 💙💜 www.twitch.tv/kirestarvester
unlabelledView post →You will like my game if you played these games: - Islanders - Dorfromantik - Terra Nil My game has a different approach to cosy - no score no cards- just minimalistic economy management, no pressure and island building with relaxing Nordic style music.
