    Botany Manor is a fantastic game with an interesting story, great and balanced puzzles, pleasing soundtracks, visually it’s like a painting. it has about 4 hours of content. I definitely recommend trying this game even if you are not a fan of the puzzle genre.

    With a manor and its surrounding gardens, Arabella has more than a roof of her own to cultivate both fantastic plants and scientific treatises. Botany Manor uses the historical context of a Victorian female scholar to build an ingenious exploration puzzle game, delivering the satisfaction of solving riddles while illustrating a clever historical insight represented by the protagonist's overlooked intellectual life. Both narrative and gameplay are bounded together in our minds by their clues and fragments, making this game a beautiful and worthy whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

The game's evocative atmosphere and ingenious puzzles create a truly captivating experience. Botany Manor is the perfect antidote to a hectic day, offering a chance to reconnect with nature at your own pace. While the story may not be the primary focus and the gameplay is more meditative than energetic, its charm lies in its tranquil beauty and engaging puzzles.
