About Botany Manor
About this game
Botany Manor is a first-person puzzle game set in a Victorian English manor.
It's 1890 and you play as botanist Arabella Greene, who is working to finish her botanical research book 'Forgotten Flora'.
Explore a complete historical English manor and its grounds, researching how to grow rare plant specimens from seed.
There are many rooms and gardens to discover, all set inside a beautiful countryside surrounding.
The manor is filled with mysterious clues for you to discover, including books, posters, letters and fascinating Victorian contraptions.
The plants you grow are fantastical, but still inspired by real phenomena in nature, so some of them require you to think outside the box. Using what's available to you in the manor, you must create the ideal conditions for each plant.
Room by room, you learn more about the life and career of Arabella and the challenges she faced as a woman navigating her scientific career.
Botany Manor offers a relaxing and peaceful environment. Feel free to stop and smell the roses!

This is a really well made game. it looks beautiful and i love that there is also a story to discover if you don't just look at the clues but also at the other letters etc. The story is a little sad but had a very satisfying ending.
The puzzles are pretty easy, they are sometimes just time consuming because you have to walk back and forth between clues here and there (they are not automatically put into your journal for some reason). It took me about 2.5 hours to beat the game, which i kind expected to be a little more, seeing that the full price is 25 bucks.
still, the game is really good and very polished.
