Independent developer Lenja Kaufmann is developing 'WATERFUL,' a simulation game where players dig riverbeds to draw water and transform a desert valley into a lush oasis. The game, set for a 2027 release on PC via Steam, features no time limits or tedious resource gathering. Instead, players shape rivers to grow plants, which in turn attract animals that fill a scrapbook. Some animals only appear under special conditions. Water management requires ingenuity-players may need to revive dried-up springs or strengthen existing ones to use limited water efficiently. A demo version is also planned. The game will support Japanese.
