great puzzles, not too hard, takes about 5 hours. plus, bonus RAGE, the sort you only get as you read about a woman in the 1890's trying to be taken seriously as a scientist.

This is the perfect example of why steam needs to add neutral reviews because Botany Manor is exactly the game that can be summed up as "yes, but...". Yes: [*] great story and storytelling, [*] interesting premises, i.e. you get to be a researcher working in a beautiful mansion (that's my dream job) , [*] vibes; it's cozy, relaxing, not too difficult. But: [*] for this price -- not enough content, [*] for a game about botany -- the graphics quality of the vast majority of the plants is underwhelming to say the least, [*] if I'm carrying a book with my research in it, why can't I have the clues that I've already found stored in that book? Half of the game was just me walking around the mansion to triple check the clues since my memory has a skill issue. Overall: yes, but wait for a sale.

First thing I'll say is the price is a little steep. The game is fantastic, but far too short for how much it costs. The story is endearing and infuriating at times, really making you feel how I imagine Arabella felt at the time. The ending almost made me tear up, and the gameplay is really fun. Nearing the end things get a bit too far apart and it feels like it takes ages to get to place. The lilypads were also a little silly haha For £22.50, I rate it 6.5/10; if it was £15, I'd rate it 8.5/10.

Very cute game but there is one major issue. There is not enough game play for the price point in my opinion. I spent just under 4 hours playing and I completed the game in one sitting. Additionally, during this play through I almost perfected the game except for a few Steam achievements. There is so much more that could've been done to add to the game play, for example, adding more plants that needed pH levels adjusted/ adding more plants that needed specific types of pots. The game maker(s) could've also added on more game play with the various critters they introduced. Overall, I am a little disappointed. My opinions aside, this game has intriguing puzzles to keep you occupied for a few hours if you can justify the price point.

Botany Manor is a lovely little game. It is simple and pretty straightforward, which makes for a cozy game to relax to. It only took me a few hours to complete with 100% achievements, which is a little disappointing considering the price point. My only complaints are that I wish I could see the clues straight from the book instead of having to go back to the clue location just to remember something. The speed of walking made that a bit tedious at times. I also noticed that there was no music most of the time except when there was a delivery or a clue was found. The ambience sounds were nice but sometimes it was a bit to quiet for my preference. And lastly, this is me being quite picky, I wish I would've been able to carry two pots (items) at a time. Not a deal breaker but it added to the constant back and forth walking. Otherwise, the game is really cute. The summery vibes are spot on and it made for an easy play for a cozy relaxing night. I would recommend it for anyone just looking for a comfort game, but I would suggest to get it while it's on sale.
