## What is Scars to Glow?

Scars to Glow is a calm healing game about tending to a tree—one wound, one moment of care at a time.

There is no timer. No pressure. No enemies.
Just a tree that responds to how gently and consistently you look after it.

Wounds appear on the trunk, each needing a mix of sunlight, water, or nutrients. Drag the right resources from your side panes and apply them to heal. When fully restored, a wound becomes a brief glowing scar before fading.

But if a wound is ignored too long, it can spread into nearby cells. New rows grow over time, creating more space and more difficulty as the tree extends.

Your goal is simple: heal what you can, for as long as you can.
The game ends only when a full row becomes covered in wounds.

There is no perfect run, no punishment for trying, and no right way to play.
Each session is a quiet practice of noticing, repairing, and continuing.

Because in the end:

Every scar you healed still helped the tree grow stronger.

FEATURES
• A gentle, minimalist healing system
• Drag-and-drop sunlight, water, and nutrient items
• Wounds that heal into temporary glowing scars
• A grid that expands as the tree grows
• Gradual turn-based difficulty
• No timers, pressure, or score chasing
• Cozy, reflective atmosphere inspired by Healing Mates
• Designed for calm focus and emotional rest

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Scars to Glow follows the Healing Mates belief that strength comes from repairing, not hiding, what has been hurt. The game doesn’t reward perfection. It simply gives you a quiet place to care, to steady yourself, and to start again—whenever you want.

If you’re looking for something gentle, grounding, and quietly meaningful, this is for you.
