Garden of Gears

Garden of Gears is a gentle simulation where you rebuild a clockwork garden, planting mechanical flora and tuning little automatons that tend them. There's no fail state, just a steady sense of making a place nicer.

The loop of planting, upgrading, and unlocking new areas is quietly addictive. It saves properly in the background, so leaving and coming back never felt like a chore.

It's not deep, and progression slows in the mid-game, but as a wind-down game it does exactly what it sets out to do.

What we liked

• Relaxing, no-pressure pacing
• Charming clockwork aesthetic
• Great for short calm sessions
