Set in a historical 19th century English homestead, Botany Manor is an exploration puzzle game in which players must investigate clues around the house and grounds to figure out the ideal habitat for a collection of rare flora. 

Players will see the manor through the eyes of its sole inhabitant, retired botanist Arabella Greene. Her collection of rare, forgotten flora needs a proper home, which means it’s time to do some research.

Explore Arabella’s house and gardens, filled with botanical notes, books, and posters, to find the right habitat for the precious plants. With each new clue, you’ll discover how to grow each long-forgotten flora. The clues are interactable, so you can turn bottles, flip over postcards, and examine each one closely as you unravel the puzzle. As clues are discovered, you can document them in your very own herbarium that you can access at any time as you uncover the mysteries surrounding these plants.

Once Arabella starts growing each plant, she may discover some mysterious qualities within them…
