Fireline Games released the houseplant shop management game Leafy Corner on July 31 for PC (Steam and Microsoft Store), Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. The game has quickly drawn attention, with Steam user reviews at 99% positive out of about 120 reviews at the time of writing, earning a 'Very Positive' rating. SteamDB data shows a peak concurrent player count of roughly 2,100 players so far. In Leafy Corner, players run a shop in a corner of the city, starting from a small, empty space. They purchase tables and shelves, arrange products, and sell houseplants to customers. The game includes over 100 types of houseplants, such as aloe vera, moth orchids, and African violets. Players do not buy plants ready-made; they plant seeds, water them, and watch them grow, with value increasing in stages. Each plant type has an appropriate amount of water, and overwatering causes withering. Customers may buy plants they like or ask for recommendations based on conditions like pet safety. A to-do list sets goals, and completing them earns Leaf Coins to unlock new plants, furniture, and decorations. A 20% off sale is currently underway on Steam and the Nintendo eShop, and a demo version is available on Steam.
