## What is Heartwood?

Heartwood is a game about growing one tree, branch by branch and root by root.

Drag from a joint toward open sky to grow a branch; its leaves turn light into sugar. Drag from the trunk into the dark soil to grow a root; roots find water, minerals and fungi, and hold the tree up when the wind rises. Everything you build has weight. A heavy limb on a thin branch will crack, a shallow tree falls in a storm, and lightning seeks out the tallest crown.

The seasons turn. Leaves colour and fall in autumn, snow loads the branches in winter, and every spring is a chance to grow again. Save sugar for the cold months, thicken the wood that carries the most, and prune what you can't support.

• Real physics: every branch bends, sways and can break
• Underground world: sense water and fungi, race rival saplings to them
• Weather: storms, frost, snow, drought and lightning
• Seedlings: scatter seeds and raise a family of trees
• VS bots: compete with bot trees for the same light and soil
• Sandbox: pin the sky, wind and season, and test what holds
• Online servers: share a world with other players, chat with trees your roots connect to, and give them sugar and water
• Wildwood servers: groves compete for sunlight, soil and landmarks, score every sunrise, and make pacts through their roots
• Photo and video: capture your tree in photo mode
• Skin Studio: design your own tree species, from bark to blossom
• Game Center: achievements for every milestone, and leaderboards for the tallest tree and the daily challenge

Apple Intelligence, on your device
• Ask the Arborist: why is my tree leaning, how do I survive winter, what should I grow next? Answers about your own tree, on device
• Name your species: a name and a line of lore for every Skin Studio design
• Translate chat on online servers into your language
• Siri and Shortcuts: "Plant a new tree in Heartwood", "Open the daily challenge in Heartwood"
Apple Intelligence needs a supported iPhone, iPad or Mac with Apple Intelligence turned on; availability depends on language and region. The game plays fully without it.

Free on iPhone, iPad and Mac. 20 languages: English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Danish, Dutch, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Vietnamese.

No ads and no in-app purchases.
