The Bonsai Diary

It's 2025, and you plant a small tree seedling, imagining its future.

Bonsai trees can live hundreds of years. Who will inherit this living being? What will they think of you in 2178? Will they think of you at all?

Use simple brush or pen strokes to shape your bonsai. On each page, you'll trace your previous bonsai and add one more stroke. Watch your bonsai grow bigger, page after page. Draw impulsively, or draw with intention.

Why You'll Love It

• Care for a plant you don't have to water

Bonsai Diary is full-bent focused on providing a contemplative, mindful experience, but in a creative, surprising way. It’s really quite excellent. It’s also quite interesting.

-- Idle Cartulary

The game prompts introspection...it will leave you pondering long after you've put down your pen. In an age of fast-paced digital distractions, this tactile, thoughtful experience is a sanctuary.

This is a beautifully contemplative game.

By the third page, I had completely forgot that I was self-conscious about drawing.
