Terra Nil is a reverse city-builder for Nintendo Switch in which restoration replaces expansion. Each map begins as a damaged, lifeless environment, and the objective is to return it to a healthy state through careful ecological planning.

Combining puzzle-solving, strategy, and simulation, the game asks players to balance limited resources while reshaping land, purifying water, and encouraging biodiversity. Once an ecosystem can thrive on its own, every man-made structure must be removed.

Restoring the landscape

The restoration process unfolds in stages. Players clean polluted ground and water before introducing conditions that support plants, wildlife, and different biomes. Deserts, volcanic archipelagos, and frozen tundras each present distinct environmental challenges.

Infrastructure and resources

Structures such as wind turbines, irrigators, toxin scrubbers, Hydroponium, and beehives help transform the terrain. Their placement matters: turbines provide power, scrubbers create fertile land, and wetlands can raise humidity for forest growth. Water and ash must be used efficiently as projects expand.

A clean departure

Every region includes biodiversity goals involving flora and fauna. Drones can collect resources across distant areas, while later stages may require temperature management for particular plant life. The final recycling phase requires dismantling the infrastructure, leaving behind a pristine, self-sustaining ecosystem.
