Botany Manor

A pretty delightful puzzle game that is perfect if you’re in the mood for something on the more cosy and relaxed side of things. The games most obvious positive is its aesthetic. This game is just so pretty, and everything about it feels like when a character in a movie wakes up after dying in a peaceful angelic afterlife. The way you’re welcomed into the game is as such, you have beautiful bright visuals, gentle lighting, soft colourful greenery, birds calling, lovely instrumental music, nice ambient sounds. It’s beautifully made and really enjoyable just to exist in. The concept for the puzzles is pretty simple, you search around for clues and figure out how to get seeds of various flowers to bloom. I think it’s a nice concept and it’s quite satisfying when you get the plants to grow. None of the puzzles here are that challenging, so if you’re looking for challenge this isn’t really the right place. This aims to be a chill puzzle game and it succeeds in that. The manor unlocks bit by bit as you play, but generally new puzzles are contained to the new areas you unlock. I did a bit of backtracking at a few points because I felt like I missed something but things are generally pre…

Despite kindof enjoying the short playthrough I cannot recommend a puzzle game where 90% of the game is about collecting and connecting various clues in your journal while at the same time not being able to preview collected clues without backtracking whole map all the time. It took me over 3 hours to 100% complete the game and it would probably be halved if I could check all notes without the backtracking.

Incredibly fun, relaxed little puzzle game about botany and flowers, along with a dash of overcoming prejudice to follow your dreams. It's a pretty game with nice graphics and sounds, and although I did brute force one puzzle, I'm assuming I missed something somewhere since every other puzzle had clear pieces that came together with a little thought.

Fun puzzle game. Only issue was missing QOL on being able to investigate clues from the herbarium - you can track which clue applies to which plant, but have to either take notes, screenshots, or go back to them. Not a huge problem, but annoying if you don't know what a clue is used for when you find it.

This game was extremely relaxing and very accomplishing. The only down side is I wish that you could mix the puzzles together. Otherwise I completely recommend this game for any cozy garden/ puzzle nerd.

This is the CUTEST game. I was touched by the details of all of the letters, nothing you read is a waste of time. This was one of my favorite games I've ever played.
