The perfect game for a rainy day! Cozy and hypnotic, it's a very relaxing game with distinct art and comforting music. The puzzle gameplay is deceptively simple and I was worried that it would be repetitive, but the subtle variances on the orders and the element of map exploration changes things up just enough that the game avoids feeling like a chore. Looking forward to future installments to play as a nice escape.

Far too short for what you pay for it. Played though it in a matter of hours, Very few puzzles, not remotely difficult. Mostly just "write down which plant is which, use said plant when requested". Giving wrong answers simply increases "dread", instead of changing the story. The few times you get a "choice" it's literally "the wrong choice and the right choice" instead of perhaps, varying degrees of potency or effects. Hides brutal death scenes by having your character flee them without any information given, but then has the mailman explain how a guy punched a puppy out of nowhere. Exploration is not ACTUALLY encouraged, and can ruin the plot if you go "oh, look, a cave, maybe I can find something in there" only to find out a day later, your daily explore clue sends you to that cave. THERE ARE ONLY 4 ELIXIRS, and one is POST. GAME.

Feels way more like a DEMO to halfway decent game than a standalone.

What would improve it? Way more customers with way more problems. Way more elixirs with more interesting ways to combine flowers. Make using a flower require time before you can use the flower again. Actual horticulture where you CARE for your flowers according to their needs. Make exploration something that gets rewarded - seeds, soil, bugs? GIVE ME THE ABILITY TO CLEAN MY WINDOWS.

I'm kinda left wishing this game could have given me some depth to its themes. You gave us great themes, an interesting atmosphere and world, and then...a railroady visual novel with a guessing game attached. I was hoping for a lot more.
