Games where you bring life/colour back to places by purifying/clearing them.

I am a total cow for this stuff.

Please suggest more, as I know there must be plenty out there I've never heard of. Mainly looking for where it's a main mechanic, but will happily add games with a note when it's just a specific/occasional section.

I'm pretty sure ABZU has a section where clearing debris brings back color to the ocean.
