 The wacky world of games about, by, for or with plants. Combines alternate reality games, speculative fiction, (pseudo)scientific research and instrumentology, magiK realism, mycology, invented languages, and all things in between. In plant games you can become a plant, talk to one, immerse yourself in plant time and space, or explore various technologies for plant communication.

 === Germination X ===
-Germination X is "a permaculture game for social networking platforms."
+Germination X is "a permaculture game for social networking platforms" and was a fertile spinoff of research into robot social intelligence initially conducted for the [[:project_lirec|LIREC]] project, incorporating a state-of-the-art AI system based on [[lirec:Fatima]]. The basic concept of GerminationX is that you can sew seeds and see other players' plants, which grow along the lines of a model that simulates companion planting. The plant species represented in the game should be local, interesting or endangered, as well as more "popular" kinds. You have a guide or companion who assists you to companion plant, but players themselves never meet directly through the game – though they become indirectly aware of one another through their planting activities. Though it is big, you can only encounter a small part of the game world at a time.
