In Astrobotanica, players take on the role of Xel, an alien botanist exploring prehistoric Earth, 300,000 years ago, to discover new plant species and save their dying home planet. The game blends open-world exploration with plant experimentation and survival mechanics, all set against the backdrop of a CO2-deficient Earth during the Pleistocene era, on which Xel has crash-landed. Think plant wizardry meets survival adventure.
