Come hang out.
Tendergrove is a multiplayer social game about sharing a small, cozy island with other people.
You'll wander through misty woods looking for rare mushrooms after a rainstorm.
You'll plant a garden and check on it tomorrow.
You'll sit on a bench at the lookout point and watch the sun go down with someone you just met.
And maybe that's enough.
A living island
The world runs on a real-time day and night cycle shared by everyone. Morning light filters through the foraging woods. Afternoon rain brings out mushrooms you can't find any other time. Fog rolls in and rare things appear in places you've walked past a hundred times. Snow blankets the garden terrace in winter.
The island is small enough to know by heart but dense enough to keep surprising you.
Forage, collect, discover
Wander the island and pick up what you find. Flowers in the morning, shells on the beach, glowing crystals in the cave. What appears depends on the time of day, the weather, and the season, so there's always something new to look for.
Fill your collection journal page by page. Trade what you gather for currency at the shop, and spend it on outfits, hats, and accessories. The rarest finds take patience and a bit of luck.
Grow something
Claim a garden plot on the terrace and plant seeds you've found or bought. Water them, wait, come back later to see what grew. Some plants bloom in an hour. Others take days. A few only grow in specific weather.
Your garden is yours to tend at your own pace.
Nobody's going to steal your turnips, probably.
Make yourself at home
Create a unique character, customize your face, hair, outfit, and colors.
Express yourself with emotes and chat with other players.
This is a place to be yourself.
Meet your new neighbours
Mabel runs the shop and loves mushrooms more than anything. She'll remember the rare chanterelle you sold her last week and ask if you've found any more.
Finn is the enthusiastic young guide who trips over his words when he's excited about a discovery.
Ivy tends the garden and speaks about plants the way some people speak about old friends.
They notice the weather. They remember your name. They react to what you've done.
They know the island better than anyone else, get to know them and earn their trust and maybe they'll let you in on a secret or two...
