Preserve: A Classic Game Jam?

It’s time to drop the c-word: cosy. Yes, we have an upcoming cosy title for PC this Summer from Grindstone and Bitmap Galaxy called Preserve – a game about jams. If only.

Even better, this ‘puzzle nature-building’ game is about creating the perfect symbiosis: a vibrant ecosystem of plants and animals, from alpine forests and arid deserts to stunning Caribbean reefs. So yeah, your goal is to foster and sustain a thriving biome whilst maintaining balance.

Here are some of the key features of Preserve:

• Diverse biome habitats – From forests and savannas to Caribbean reefs, each biome will have its own unique set of plants, animals, and environmental challenges to discover and overcome.
• Multiple Game Modes – Besides regular harmony and puzzle game modes, creative mode lets you build the land without limitations, and photo mode allows you to capture and share your creations at the end of each session.
• Natural Wonders – Nothing can beautify your map more than natural wonders like the snowy Alps, lavender fields or redwood forests, which you can acquire thanks to a unique card upcycle system. 

Here’s the trailer:

Preserve will be available via Steam in Summer 2024.
