Human interaction with plants is often silent, yet digital games provide an interactive storytelling medium to reestablish the connection between human and plants overtly. In most games, plants serve as passive elements, functioning as background aesthetics or resources rather than active emotional entities. This study explores how plants can be integrated as meaningful narrative and interactive components, fostering empathy, ecological awareness, and emotional engagement in digital spaces.

By redefining plants as dynamic, expressive beings, this research moves beyond their conventional static roles, transforming them into interactive elements that respond to player care and actions. Through FloraFun, a role-playing game featuring interactive plant mechanics, this study examines how plants may elicit human emotions, memory, and well-being.

Ultimately, this research seeks to further bridge the gap between humans and nature, deepening understanding and appreciation of plant life in both virtual and real-world environments.
