Publisher Whitethorn Games and developer Balloon Studios have announced that their relaxing immersive botanical puzzle game, Botany Manor, is heading to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 this December. The game where players uncover forgotten seeds and piece together clues to solve puzzles, helping each rare plant grow is already available on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox.
Step back in time to a historical homestead in 19th century England. At the estate of Botany Manor lives retired botanist Arabella Greene. Her vast collection of rare and long-forgotten plants also resides at the estate. As Arabella, players are tasked with combing through her notes and exploring the historic grounds for clues to discover and learn what the strange flora require to flourish.
Unlock and plant strange and unusual new seeds. A number of interactable objects are scattered around the luxurious estate. These objects can be turned and flipped to aid in solving each garden puzzle. Discover the mysterious qualities of the strange flora by helping them grow.
Uncover details about Arabella’s life by discovering information about her career. Learn about the challenges she faced as a woman scientist during the 19th century.
A gameplay video was released last April exploring the necessary steps to make the unusual Pixie Tears plant bloom. Similar to other plants on the estate, this plant requires a series of steps to make it flourish. Pixie Tears are an example of the many plants Arabella has collected over the years. Balloon Studios’ Laure De May takes players on the journey through Arabella’s research to determine what steps are necessary to bring this once forgotten plant back to full bloom.
Three other mysterious plants, in March of this year, were announced via three teaser images. The three plants included the Windmill Wort, Ash Plume, and Fool’s Emerald.
