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.

Were overjoyed to let you all know that Heatwave, our newest free content update, is now available on Steam!
Deserts and Savannahs on the Far Side of the World
In Heatwave, weve added the brand new arid region to the game with never before seen flora and fauna in the world of Terra Nil. We have sandy deserts, salt pans, canyons and floodplains. Youll be populating these landscapes with some of the worlds most famous animals: elephants, lions, giraffes and rhinos to name a few.
Parched Oasis
In the first arid map, youll be restoring an inland delta, inspired by the real world Okavango Delta. Youll need to burn alien vegetation to restore the rivers, before creating savannah and alluvial vegetation. Savannah has a special interaction with elephants, based on the mutually beneficial relationship they share in real life.

Canyon Peaks
In the second arid level, inspired by the famous Grand Canyon, a massive gorge bisects the map. On one side, youll need to deal with oil fires which lower your resources if they get out of control, and on the other, a radioactive city needs to be cleansed. This map also introduces our new favourite character, ERW1N.
ERW1N is our very own recycling rover, who can combat radiation, recycle buildings, and scan for seeds. ERW1N is controlled with a joystick minigame.

Fracked Floodplain
The final challenge of the arid region is a floodplain decimated by industry. Youll need to use creative methods to clean the oil, before restoring life to the watering holes on the edge of the desert. Finally, create a biofuel-powered rocket to reach your existing spacecraft in orbit.

Photography Mode
Weve long since wanted to have a photo mode in Terra Nil, and now we finally do! This new mode allows you to take pictures of animals that youve made happy. Photos can be stored in your handbook (and on your hard drive). Theres also a scoring system - see how good a photo you can take!

Heatwave has been a labour of love for us. Both the arid region and the photography system were features cut from the original game to hit our deadline. So its fair to say that were incredibly happy to finally be able to share our vision of Terra Nil, complete with all 5 major climate zones, with all of you!
Thanks for all your support so far, and in the future.
-Sam and team Terra Nil
P.S. To celebrate this huge milestone, Terra Nil is discounted by 60% for a limited time (sale starting at 10AM Pacific). There\'s no better time to jump in than now.
