About

SlimeSanctuary

Read full description

Slime Sanctuary is a cozy creature-collection game with no combat, no timers to dread, and no predatory pressure โ€” just gentle daily care and the quiet joy of watching something new appear. Adopt squishy little slimes and give them a home. Each one is procedurally rendered โ€” its own wobbly shape, colour, pattern, and sleepy or starry eyes โ€” so no two slimes ever look quite alike. CARE SHAPES WHO THEY BECOME Every day, feed your slimes and give them attention. What you choose gently nudges their colour and pattern. Care for a few days and watch a brand-new evolution drop โ€” the satisfying little surprise at the heart of the game. DISCOVER ALL 50 VARIETIES - Breed two slimes to blend their traits into a new baby - Unlock new environments โ€” Cavern, Beach, Twilight and more - Find rare Radiant shinies that glow - Fill your Codex one variety at a time GENTLE BY DESIGN There's no fighting, no losing your slimes, and no clock punishing you for stepping away. Earn Dew at your own pace and spend it on rooms, slots, and breeding. It's a calm place to potter for a few minutes a day. SANCTUARY KEEPER (one-time purchase) - Removes all ads - +4 sanctuary slots to keep more slimes - Unlocks the exclusive Aurora environment - Earns bonus Dew every day Free players can unlock all Keeper perks for 30 minutes any time by watching a short video. Slime Sanctuary shows non-personalized ads only and does not track you across other apps. If you love AbyssRium, Neko Atsume, or just want a soft, original creature-care game to unwind with โ€” pull up a chair. Your slimes are waiting.
