About the Game
Terra Nil is a game about transforming a barren, lifeless landscape into a thriving, vibrant ecosystem. Turn dead soil into fertile grassland, clean polluted oceans, plant sprawling forests, and create the ideal habitat for animals to call home. Then recycle your buildings and leave no trace that you were there. Reclaim the wasteland.
A reverse city builder
Use advanced eco-technology to purify the soil, creating plains, wetlands, beaches, rainforests, wildflowers, and more—then efficiently recycle everything you've built, leaving the environment pristine for its new animal inhabitants.Different maps every time
Procedurally generated landscapes mean no two playthroughs of Terra Nil will ever be the same. Plan your build around randomized, challenging, and unpredictable terrain, including snaking rivers, mountains, lowlands, and oceans.A natural ebb and flow
Each region of Terra Nil progresses through phases, with the ultimate goal being leaving pristine wilderness behind. Levels are not about infinite growth, but rather balancing and nurturing the environment before leaving it in peace.Experience tranquility
Lush hand-painted environments, relaxing music, and an atmospheric ambient soundscape make Terra Nil a peaceful, meditative experience. When you're done, use Appreciate mode to bask in the natural beauty of the ecosystem you have restored.Screenshots

Hi everyone!
We've been hard at work and we're excited (even if slightly sad) to announce our final update for Terra Nil. We're incredibly proud of the game it's become and the beauty all our players have brought to the world 💖
🌱 You can now restore ecosystems from wherever you are with your Steam Deck, or sit back with a controller and watch a wasteland come to life on your big screen! 🌱
This has been a quiet goal of ours for some time. Thank you for sticking with us while we worked toward it!
Terra Nil is also 60% off as a part of the Steam Spring sale.
Go forth and heal the wasteland, we'll see you around.
