Quite a pleasant gameplay
I didn't understand the gameplay when I started, and I made some mistakes I later regretted. Perhaps the game could inform me that when a customer problem could be solved with more than one plant, the one we choose would change the ending. Only later in the game I realized that this is how this game forks story paths. I could just play it again, but it was a lot of work to catalog so many plants that I don't want to do it again. Which leads me to the next issue. The plants encyclopedia can be frustrating. It tells us about the plant's properties, but rarely helps to identify them. Instead, it gives vague clues that can often lead to incorrect identification, which I guess is part of the game puzzles. Makes me wonder why the plant drawings in that book look nothing like the actual ones. Considering 90% of the game is identifying plants, that book was supposed to help. If I had a suggestion, it would be to update the plant drawings on the book to match the actual one when we finally identify them. I cannot keep track of all the plants in my head when we have almost 80 of them. We can tag the plants, but in the beginning, I didn't know what to include on the labels that would help with the gameplay. Each plant has the English and the Latin names, and some have multiple names. The game asks you to identify by one of them, so placing labels can get crazy. Besides that, the game feels original, had a nice mood, and was pleasant to play. The story is interesting but offers little to no replayability because I already know how to solve all the puzzles, and God forbid I had to re-catalog all the plants with such a vague encyclopedia. What I can say is that it was entertaining to play, and that's what matters. I still recommend it.

Plants and Puzzles meet the Occult
Short yet fun and engaging game, I especially enjoyed the soundtrack. It fits the gloomy and dreary setting of the game very well (also on par with rainy weather being a near constant in England). I also liked the small details embedded into the game (the Wandering Bue moving along the shelf on its own throughout the game, petting the black cat 13 times nets you an achievement, etc). This game isn't heavy on graphics at all, but I feel the pricepoint is a bit steep for how long it takes to complete the game (it took me 5 hours), so it's definitely worth buying on sale. Your progress is saved automatically, there's no tutorial but there are hints that the game gives you if you're stuck on what plant to give a customer but honestly, they aren't very helpful sometimes. While there isn't a tutorial, the game isn't hard and the puzzles and clues for map locations are easy to figure out. The story is somewhat predictable (I was able to guess who was who and responsible for the events of the game) but it does include some twists I didn't see coming. There are multiple endings and choices (specifically plant choices) matter, the game will give you indicators when this happens. Unfortunately this is a one and done kind of game and it has low replayability unless they release a DLC/expansion patch. Otherwise, this is a fun and engaging game if you're looking to pass the time and are something of a plant nerd.

Nice short game
Emphasis on short, in around 6 hours you'll see everything you can see about it and even the large number of finales isn't enough to guarantee replayability. The riddles aren't anything too trascendental but the gameplay loop is solid, if you are interested in atmospheric games this might be enough to occupy you for a couple of afternoons. I enjoyed it but I don't think I will replay it.

Mellow but sometimes slow
It's a mellow game with some parts that feel like a slog and would become a drag without the Wiki to help.
