KindWorks, a calm game about restoring a town
A free mobile game asks players to rebuild the quiet town of Willowmere through small jobs, while documenting related real-world environmental work.
Field notes
KindWorks frames Willowmere as a persistent town where players choose small restorative activities rather than chase timers or failure states. Examples range from clearing a river to running a shop counter and spending time with a fox. The project also separates fictional progress from real-world impact: its stated record format includes partner, place, date, and evidence, while the footer identifies the current site as a prototype and the mobile game as forthcoming.
