Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Localization!

We’re excited to announce that Pesticide Not Required is now fully localized in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean!

With all in-game text and relevant images updated to support each language, we're thrilled to open the game up to a new audience and allow more players to experience the game in their native language!

To celebrate, we're also running a 25% discount, and have a bunch of new bundles with other great games to check out.

Steam Awards - Sit Back and Relax!

Hey everyone!

We're extremely thankful for the kindness and feedback we've gotten from the community, y'all have been awesome and have helped us spot bugs to squash and tweaks to make. It has brought us a lot of joy seeing everyone's feedback in our Steam forums and the Discord 😊

In an unexpected way, I've always found that the incomprehensible chaos that the game creates leads me into a zen-like state where I can eventually sit back and just enjoy the build I've created. For that reason, I felt that the "Sit Back and Relax" category of the Steam awards would be oddly fitting for us. We would really appreciate it if you considered voting for us, and wanted to give a huge thanks to those who have already voted for us in the Steam awards!



As a quick development update, we're working on getting the game localized to Asian regions, and once that's complete we have a content update in the works which will introduce some more variety, and difficult challenges for hardcore players to work for!

Thanks again for supporting our small team!
