VIDEO GAME PROJECTS
We are Team Nava Games, a purpose-driven indie studio from Leipzig, Germany creating narrative video games that combine entertainment with sustainable impact. Our projects merge emotional storytelling, innovative game design, and scientific insights to reach players worldwide.
Update 01/2026: With the concept phase of VIVID completed, we’re moving into the next stage. Thanks to the recently approved project development funding from Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung GmbH (MDM), we’ve officially entered the prototype phase, running until September 2026. Our focus is now on building a playable prototype planned to be showcased at gamescom. 🚀
VIVID (in prototyping)
A narrative survival experience from a more-than-human perspective.
VIVID invites you to explore the world through the eyes of plants. Inspired by scientific insights and ecological storytelling, VIVID lets you experience the challenges of germination, growth, and survival in a dynamic environment shaped by climate, competition, and time. 🌱
Rooted in real biology, VIVID is probably the world’s first scientifically grounded, plant-based survival game and an invitation to rethink what it means to coexist.
VIVID is scheduled to be released on Steam and for mobile devices in Q1/2027. Of course, we’re also considering releases on other platforms. 📱
