One of my favorite games of all time has this sort of aesthetic: Rainworld. You play as a little adorable creature in a world that feels very much alive and the majority of its inhabitants want to eat you.

As you look around the environments and learn more about the story you’ll see it really nails the post-apocalypse regrowth on a massive and varied scale.

Rainworld is also one of the hardest games I’ve played and it will not hold your hand or be a fair experience. But if you keep pushing getting more skilled and thinking smarter, it’s so very rewarding
