Plants, puzzles, petting a cat. What more could you want? Note: play this game with a large screen/monitor to save your eyes.
i completed this game on my switch before buying it here and achievement hunting to celebrate finishing my masters in horticulture :) it's my first 100% completed game! it's cozy & not too demanding with a really cute aesthetic. great if you want to chill for a few hours with some low stakes puzzle solving. i definitely recommend completing it at least once without a guide or any spoilers. hunting for the rest of the achievements after your first playthrough is a breeze as long as you make some strategic saves!
it was okay. the puzzles themselves were fun but the story was kind of nothing imo, just couldnt get very invested in it. can almost recommend it
