About Mothkeeper
Mothkeeper is a cozy virtual pet game about raising moths in an old Victorian house. You turn a conservatory into a home for a growing collection, grow colorful herbs for them to eat, and take advice from a mysterious benefactor who calls on the telephone.
The work is gentle and hands-on. You walk around the house, plant and tend herbs, and look after each moth, with a few actions asking you to hold the button. The art is small and 1-bit, and the pace is slow, so it's about settling in rather than rushing.
A full playthrough takes about half an hour. You can play Mothkeeper online right here, and Mothkeeper free of any download makes it an easy way to spend a calm break.

What to Expect in Mothkeeper
It's a relaxing management sim with a farming streak. There's no fail state to dread, only a house to look after and a conservatory that gets busier as you go. The telephone gives the story a gentle hook.
If you like virtual pets, cozy farming games and tiny pixel worlds, you'll settle in quickly. If you want fast action or a strong challenge, this is not that.
