Interesting setting
The Flower Collectors seems poised to stand out as an interesting blend between Maus and Rear Window, where we are taken to a plaza in post-Franco Spain with an ex-cop in a wheelchair who finds himself trying to solve a murder mystery. For fans familiar with mysteries, the pool of suspects is pretty small and narrows itself down quickly enough that it doesn't become a whodunnit so much as a whydunnit. The graphics and art style are relatively simple but effective for the setting. The audio and voice acting isn't necessarily Oscar-worthy, but they serve the story well compared to many bigger budget games. The interface is simple and for the most part intuitive. It can be played on a speed run in about 3 to 4 hours, making it a good short adventure that doesn't overstay its welcome. You don't need to be fully versed in the intracices of 20th century Spanish history, the game catches you up quickly and smoothly on the necesary parts to enjoy the game. I played it twice, will probably give it a third play, and consider it a good value for its price for such an ambitious and overall well-delivered mystery. You don't see many people try to make games like this, especially set in this time period, so I hope it finds the necessary support so that others will try similar projects in the future.
