Apr 29, 2020I was just so intrigued by this. I loved learning so much through playing, and it’s just shocking to remember that Holiday Destination Spain was a place of such turmoil and upheaval within my own lifetime. At £20, its four or so hours feels short, but as I mentioned, it’s immediately intriguing to go back and replay making different decisions, or deliberately failing to help certain people, to see the implications playing out.

Apr 21, 2020While The Flower Collectors doesn’t reinvent or radically reenvision detective fiction, and the plot never twists in very shocking or particularly exciting ways, it’s a sophisticatedly told, cosy murder mystery. In these times, that’s exactly the kind of entertainment I need to get through the day.

May 6, 2020The Flower Collectors, with a simple story, shows to what extent society can normalize human rights violations, homophobia, transphobia and demonization of artists to the point of kidnapping, torture and organized murder. These themes aren't much common in the gaming industry, and this game is much worth it because of the way it tackles them.

Jun 4, 2020The Flower Collectors is definitely an excellent homage to Rear Window and the great Alfred Hitchcock. Nevertheless the interesting historical and visual aspects can't compensate a basic gameplay and the lack of a plot twist able to shake several cliches up.

Jun 10, 2020If the developers could remove the tedious gameplay and bulk up the story more, The Flower Collectors likely could’ve struck a better chord with me. I can appreciate the experimental gameplay, but it is an absolute drag on what could have been a much more powerful plot.

May 6, 2020Investigating a murder mystery tinged with political corruption from a balcony makes for a compelling concept, but the passive gameplay, slow pace and poor animation prevents The Flower Collectors from ever fully blooming.

Apr 21, 2020The Flower Collectors has a very interesting concept, that feels exciting. But it feels so rough, with some outdated animations and bland models, not to mention gameplay sequences that fail to transmit the intentions, that it mostly feels like a big disappointment from Mi'pu'mi after the surprising The Lion's Song.
