"Even dry and lost places can flourish with a little care": Waterful is a gentle, beautiful puzzler about drawing rivers that makes me yearn for something overwhelming
Waterful is a gentle, colorful puzzler where players draw rivers through procedurally generated landscapes to cultivate vegetation and attract creatures. Developed by solo developer Lenja Kaufmann, the game draws comparisons to titles like Dorfromantik and Terra Nil. While praised for its calming nature and creative potential, the author notes a lack of overwhelming challenge, a key element they feel is missing from a true 'river game'.
