ORO

ORO is a cozy strategy game where you protect a rapeseed plant from a parasitic underground invasion.

Above the ground, your plant grows through changing weather conditions, hailstorms and insect attacks.

Below the surface, a hidden network of roots becomes a battlefield. Explore the underground sphere, identify infected connections, deploy defensive bacteria and cut key parasite nodes before they drain your plant's vitality.
