Greenhearth Necromancer News

Hello!

We’ve got a smidge of news for you about Greenheart Necromancer - it is no longer called that! As you may have already deduced based on the new logo above, we are changing the name of the game to Greenhearth Necromancer.

You may ask, why the change? The details are boring and not worth going into, but we feel that “Greenhearth Necromancer” speaks strongly to the themes found in the game. You build a home around a hearth, planting roots and gathering community ‘round it. Taken as a whole, Greenhearth Necromancer combines cozy gardening vibes and community building with our necromantic twist.

Anywho! We have updated our Steam page (go give us a wishlist if you haven’t!), our socials, and all the various places we live on the internet. If you spot one we missed, please do let us know and you will earn our heartfelt thanks. 💛

We are also going to be sharing more about the game very soon! We’ll be diving into devlogs, sharing concept art and work-in-progress GIFs, making plant puns, and a few more exciting community initiatives we’ll be talking about soon.

Please follow us on Bluesky, and take a peek at our brand new TikTok and Instagram accounts - come for the game news and stay for the silly puns and fun posts. You can also sign-up for our newsletter to get the latest news sent right to your inbox in a handy dandy letter from yours truly. 💌

Thanks for supporting us, and we can’t wait to share more about ✨ Greenhearth Necromancer ✨ with you in the coming months.

Your community manager pal,

PS: We handed out a zine during GDC this year, and you can find the PDF for it right here!

Normally in games where you inherit a farm or plant shop or garden from an elderly relative, you conveniently have enough of a green thumb to keep that farm or plant shop or garden alive and thriving. (At least until winter.) Not so in Greenheart Necromancer, a game in which your thumb is only green when it's got a bit of rotting flesh on it, because you are, as the name suggests, a necromancer...

Today we’re so happy to be announcing this, our next game at Silverstring Media.

Greenhearth Necromancer is a cozy, witchy, semi-idle narrative game about caring for a balcony garden — living and undead plants alike! Grow cute plants, cast spells, and brew potions, enjoying the chill idle gameplay and balcony ambience throughout your day.

Raise a garden—from the dead!



We first conceived of Greenhearth Necromancer back in early 2023 during a studio game jam and have been working to break new ground and grow that seed into a lovely videogame ever since. Now, we’re on our way into production and thrilled to show a first glimpse to the world!

We’ll be continuing to develop Greenhearth over the coming months, and would love to invite you along for the journey. We’ll use this community page, our newsletter, as well as our socials accounts (Bluesky and Twitch) to show off our progress as we go. So make sure you’re following us on all those places so you don’t miss anything!

Of course, for a small indie studio like us in an industry that has proven tumultuous and a social media ecosystem that’s constantly in flux, the absolute best things you can do to support us are:

1. WISHLIST the game here on Steam. By wishlisting, you’ll be automatically informed when the game eventually comes out — but it also tells Steam that people are interested, so their algorithm might show it to more people! In fact, the best thing you can do is wishlist it RIGHT NOW before you forget, and to show as much excitement all at once as possible!

2. TELL YOUR FRIENDS! Spread the word on your social media platforms of choice, share it in your group chats, and get hype! We think we’ve got something really special with Greenhearth Necromancer, and word of mouth is the absolute best marketing tool out there.

We’ll be revealing more and more information about the game, the story, the gameplay, the music, and more over the coming months. We’re planning to release a demo later this year as well so you can start to try it out as we continue to develop the game!

And finally, feel free to let us know here what you think, or if you share the game anywhere!
