Spectrum48’s Philip Sinclair has spent 15 years rewilding a field, “rewilding” being a process of restoring ecosystems to something like a state of ‘natural’ equilibrium. Now, he’s making a videogame about it. That game is Grow Wild, which is currently accepting playtest sign-ups. It sees you restoring biomes across the globe, touching down on sickly square arcadias like an avenging angel equipped with a trowel, magnifying glass, and probably some tartan-pattern slippers, out of shot. It makes me think a little of Viva Pinata, but it’s populated by representations of non-digital creatures, flowers and trees with convincing growth cycles.…

Years ago I was lost in the Shaded Woods, a foggy forest full of moaning trees. I didn’t have enough health to fight the invisible backstabbing murder ghosts, and every time I ran away from the spooky sound of their footsteps, I got lost in the fog all over again. That’s when a hacker invaded and injected me with hundreds of cursed swords, corrupting my save file and dooming Dark Souls 2 to crash over and over. It was deep magic, more powerful than any game system or lore, overwhelming the code itself. To uncurse myself, I’d…
