You start as a seed that will burst forth from the ground, growing, adapting, trying to survive in your immediate surrounding, and coping up with other lifeforms beside you.
You will interact with the soil itself, with other plants, visiting insects and animals, the weather, sudden calamity, and maybe some humans!
You think it's easy to grow? Let the cycle of life educate you.

If you log in before playing, you'll be able to save your progress - which means you can come back later and pick up where you left off.
The story is told from the point-of-view of a sprouting seed, and it does so quite naturally (no pun intended.) It is indeed short, but there are many non-sandpit games on this site that are of similar length to this one.
This game would be at least 3-star worthy if: in addition to being a couple dozen pages longer, it offered more choices/interactivity. Given how charmingly modest the narrative is, it's a shame I can't give a higher score.
Seems to be one of Quest's many abandoned projects that had potential.
