Viridi

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Ages 6 and up
Genre:	Simulator
Fun-O-Meter:
Summary:	This game is free, but paid features exist There is something innately calming about growing a pot of cacti, and Viridi brings this atmosphere to your computer's desktop. This isn't exactly a game in the normal sense; it's more of an interactive decoration.
Brief thoughts:	This "game" is little more than a cute desktop toy that you need to water occasionally. It's a good source of relaxing white noise too.

Today's Featured Glossary Entry

Metagame

The metagame is the "game about the game", or to put it in simpler terms, things players do that are related to, but not explicitly part of, a game.

Examples include drawing fan art, coming up with theories about why game worlds work like they do, or comparing strategies to quickly earn achievements.

Game developers can also encourage metagaming by having contests, providing modding support, and selling merch that can provide in-game rewards.
