'Vivarium,' a cozy simulation game currently in development by Studio Meadowflower, was unveiled for the first time during the Xbox Game Showcase.

'Vivarium' is a game characterized by visuals that evoke the feeling of watching a Studio Ghibli animation. With an endless summer as its core concept, players take on the role of 'Jenny,' a bright and energetic 11-year-old girl living in a terrarium, as she embarks on a journey to explore this miniature world and uncover its secrets.

Don't let the mention of a journey to uncover secrets fool you into expecting something grand or dark. The experience is all about wandering through a charming, cozy village, meeting various residents, and spending dreamlike days engaging in a variety of activities. Within the terrarium, Jenny can learn new recipes, tend to her garden, and collect or enjoy items like stickers, vinyl records, and classic novels.

Every choice and action Jenny takes eventually weaves into a non-linear story. What is the true nature of this tiny terrarium world? And what are the true identities of Jenny and the people who live there? The heartwarming simulation game 'Vivarium' is scheduled for release on PC and Xbox Series X|S in 2027.
