Although it was released last year and received very positive reviews on Steam, that was enough for publisher Whitethorn Games to decide to release this title for PlayStation consoles on January 28th. Botany Manor is a relaxing puzzle game focused on gardening, where you will explore a beautifully kept historic English manor.
In Botany Manor, you take on the role of Arabella Greene, a retired botanist with a great passion for reviving rare and forgotten plants. Set on a sprawling 19th-century estate, the game revolves around exploring Arabella’s house and her lush gardens. By investigating her books, notes, and personal belongings, you uncover clues that help you cultivate the plants. With every solved puzzle, you unlock new seeds and discover the unique characteristics of each plant.
Botany Manor is currently available for PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox consoles, priced at €24.99, while the game is free for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. You can read our review of the game here.
