    Our protagonist, Alma, is sent to a cottage in the countryside to recover from an unfortunate episode of mental illness. As a lover of plants, she finds peace tending to the overgrown garden on the property. However, while admiring the large ivy growing across its fence, she discovers a leaf bearing a single written word - hello. Naturally, her father and carer brush it off as nothing but a hallucination - a symptom of her hysteria. Little do they know that this message is very, very real.
    Alma must now fight a battle that has been fought again and again throughout history - the struggle of making yourself heard and respected as a female in a very male dominated world, in a period of history where women were downtrodden and dismissed.
    Can she solve the mystery before it's too late?    … Expand

    Despite the subject, Secrets in Green is easy to play, so that’s a plus. The issue comes with its development side of things. The game does touch on mental illness, but it almost feels like the secondary narrative rather than the primary. It had so much potential thanks to its theme (women with mental illness in Victorian England), but it did little to touch on them. The classic visual novel gameplay fits well with the narrative, though I would have liked a few more choices sprinkled in. Some of the behind-the-scenes graphics choices are just plain strange to me. Unfortunately, my best one-word description of Secrets in Green is “forgettable.”
