Prune, my digital bonsai game about cultivating what matters, just turned 10!

In an age of endlessly fractured attention, I still believe it has something to offer--now more than ever. So to celebrate, I'm finally bringing it to PC.

Collage of screenshots from the game The Crush House, featuring various characters from the game interacting with each other, making out, looking astonished, playing the saxophone, all in a very bright and summery mansion with big windows, pools and hip furniture. The screenshots are laid out as if they're stills from a film camera
