The Regreening is a soilpunk fairytale about restoring nature and making a home in a folklore-inspired world
2026 - Berlin, Germany | Indie publisher ByteRockers’ Games signs on The Regreening developer Positive Impact Games.
After a successful first venture into publishing last year with the relaxing kingdom-builder Let Them Trade by Spaceflower, followed by the promising partnership with the young talent creating the atmospheric poem-writing adventure OKU at Irox Games, this third title fully cements ByteRockers’ Games as a supporter of small studios with a strong vision.
“We are excited about the new partnership with a rising indie team that, at the same time, brings a wealth of industry experience. This women-led powerhouse of a studio impressed us right from the start, just as much as the core game idea of restoration itself. An important and beautiful topic without the usual ‘serious games’ touch. We aim to help this team achieve the success they absolutely deserve.” — Maik Reichelt, CEO of ByteRockers’ Games
The Regreening calls itself a soilpunk fairytale: a farming simulation about restoring a deserted world and getting back in touch with nature. Players meet ancient spirits based on Baltic folklore and explore the state of their new home at their own pace. The satisfying transformation of the environment through gardening, crafting, and befriending the local fauna captures the genuine joy of living in tune with your surroundings.
This is the debut game of Positive Impact Games: a Hamburg-based remote studio founded in 2024 by industry veterans who were awarded the Gamecity Hamburg Prototype Fund.
