Review

In this charming walking simulator with a gardening theme, the player assumes the role of Arabella, a botanist who lives in a large Victorian manor. The player explores the manor while solving puzzles to get different plants to grow.

The core gameplay is pretty simple, primarily just walking around and interacting with different things. There are light puzzle elements where you have to try to figure out how to get different plants to grow and some of the mechanics are pretty neat. Yes, as a walking simulator this game is definitely on the slower end but it feels very relaxing to play through. Both the sounds and visuals of the game make this game a very enjoyable experience.
