Step into the role of a botanical greenhouse curator in a quiet cloister, where each day is spent growing plants, combining traits, cataloging species, and managing a living collection.
In Cloister Curator, you plant different species, care for them through light, moisture, and substrate conditions, follow their growth stages, and discover how traits pass from one generation to the next. The game is built around clear table-based inheritance rules, with no physics and no real-time pressure.
Grow plants in pots, beds, and terrariums. Each surface supports a different style of care: fast single-plant growth, room for multiple plants, or a microclimate bonus for one special specimen. Match each plant with the right conditions to help it reach flowering and seeding.
When two plants reach the right stage, you can review an inheritance preview, see which traits may pass to the seedling, and then create a new plant with its own combination of traits. Gradually complete the herbarium, unlock new entries, and discover special hybrids.
During the day, choose how to spend your limited actions: plant, care, hybridize, catalog, sell to visitors, upgrade the cloister, or progress through quests. Different visitors look for different traits, and a plant that matches their preferences may receive a higher value.
Behind the daily botanical routine waits the Lost Herbarium — a collection of pages with riddles and clues that point toward new discoveries in your plant collection.
