A peaceful, tranquil little puzzle game that may or maynot require a little bit of effort to connect the dots and get all the clues in the right order. You certain need to pay attention to clues and read carefully but it is filled with such a delightful little brain teasers. I completed the game in about 5 hours, probably less if I had not decided to walk everywhere to enjoy the view and sit on each and every bench. I thought the game was very artistic and beautifully crafted with love and it tickled my heart in all the right ways. The notes and letters left around create a wonderfully crafted story. The game is full of such charm and whimsy befitting the 1850's, and a lady who simply wishes to be a scholar about plants. Delightfully charming game - I do recommend.

It's the shame the game is so short, about 3 hours, as I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and no-stress puzzle solving that was just enough to keep me thinking while still being thoroughly relaxing. One minor critique is that while there is lore and character background and so forth, the game's driver is "research each plant to progress", so it's about doing the next puzzle. While this is OK, getting to know the character was, for me, the more engaging part and what gave it depth. I feel the game could have benefited from making the character's story the main driver and the puzzles be the path through the story. Overall I found it worth getting and would almost certainly be interested in a DLC or continuation of the character's story.
Just finished 100% the game. I’m the kind who struggles to finish games but this game’s length is perfect for me. The puzzles can took a while to click and figure out but nothing that makes me want to google online. The good thing about this game is it kinda tells you which clue is for which flower. So once you’ve gather all clues for that particular flower, you can just piece it all together. My fav puzzle is Springdance Shrub. It’s so clever and charming! And I’m so proud I was able to figure that out myself.
This game was absolutely adorable, I love the way you have to explore the world to make the plants grow and you learn the story through notes, newspapers and diary entries along the way. My only complaint is that it wasn't longer!!!
Pretty good puzzle game with a charming atmosphere. Its generally not that difficult but has a few moments where you're overwhelmed with clues and its hard to sort them out. Only callout is that the game is rather short. You make 12 plants and then game over.
It´s a very great cozy game and i enjoyed it a lot. I could escape reality for a bit and enjoy the atmosphere of this beautiful game. The only thing i would make sure to be aware of is that bit you play a lot of puzzle games the puzzles are quite easy. I played 2.4 hours and i gave myself the time to look at everything in detail. If you don´t mind that for the prize please go for it. I had the best time!
Very cute and cozy. I love it so much
I loved every minute of this game. The puzzles are not so hard and very creative. The story is also very captivating I found myself smiling at the end. It was beautiful
This is one of my favorite games of this year. I really enjoyed the themes of the game, and the music was a treat. I feel that Botany Manor has some of the most fair and balanced puzzles in any game I've played.
Cozy puzzle game with beautiful art. I love flowers and puzzles, so this game was perfect for me. 10/10
