Cute game for the gardener who also loves an historical intrigue. I do recommend turning the movement speed up and the gardening animations off after the first few rounds, because it does get a tad tedious otherwise. Loved the artwork in the dialogue part.

I really enojyed the playthrough during the gloomy days of winter. The story follows a young girl tasked with taking care of the Abbott's garden. I loved the setting. I was expecting a bit more from the intrigue but I think this is more personal preference. The story reminded me of other European historical novels, just with a queer representation, which made me really happy. Now, about the gardening. The mechanics…

Really wanted to like this, but the interface for the garden was infuriating and cumbersome, and the dialog seemed to assume I was already well-versed in the history and social structures of the time period, as well as being awkwardly written, badly localized, and oddly paced.
