Check the sun
The sun can move from puzzle to puzzle. Shade always stretches away from it.
A garden puzzle from Plainly Done Studios
PenumbloomRestore the gardens. Awaken the Penumbloom.
Read the sun. Plant the right trees. Give every flower exactly the shade it needs, then watch a quiet world grow back around you.
Preparing for broader Google Play testing
Light becomes the puzzle
Simple to understand.
Much harder to master.
Every puzzle starts with the same question: where will the shade fall? The rules stay readable while the gardens grow into deeper, more demanding logic.
Plant with purpose
Each tree has its own shade footprint. Place it on the right soil and let the board respond.
Match exact shade
A flower marked 1 needs exactly one layer of shade. Zero means none. Precision matters.
Every puzzle leaves a mark
You are restoring a world, not clearing a list.
The Ten Gardens gradually wake as you solve them. Water returns. Woodland fills in. The cottage stirs. The Penumbloom opens wider.
Your Sanctuary grows alongside that journey, with decorations and living details you can earn, collect, and arrange yourself.
The heart of the garden
Meet the little lives
you are restoring it for.
Penumlet is your quiet guide through the gardens. Mossli is the curious companion who can eventually make the Sanctuary feel a little more alive.

Mossli
Playful, curious, and a little distractible. Once Mossli joins Penumlet, the Sanctuary becomes his home too. He wanders, investigates decorations, and finds small reasons to stop and look around.
A path that keeps growing
Cozy does not mean easy.
Penumbloom starts by teaching the language of shade, then builds toward layered mechanics and long-form challenge for players who want to keep pushing.
The Ten Gardens
A handcrafted restoration journey that introduces the rules, the world, and its major mechanics one garden at a time.
Daily Garden
A fresh reason to return, with difficulty that grows alongside your progress without demanding a streak.
Endless Paths
Deterministic generated puzzles that keep going, eventually layering Linked Blooms, Sunstones, and the game’s toughest logic.
Designed to respect your time
Play because you want to.
Penumbloom is being built around a simple principle: progression should come from playing, not from manufacturing frustration.
- No forced interstitial or banner ads interrupting puzzles.
- Optional rewarded boosts are limited and never replace learning the game.
- No energy meter that tells you when you are allowed to play.
- Sanctuary customization is about expression, not competitive power.
