From the Epic Games Store product description:
Botany Manor is a cozy, first-person puzzle game set in an English manor. This quaint country home is full of unusual plants begging for particular kinds of attention that only you can offer.Epic Games Store - Botany Manor
You’ll take on the role of retired botanist Arabella Greene. After a long career, she’s relocated to the English countryside to research plants and write a book she calls “Forgotten Flora.” And it’s those unattended—and untended—plants that serve as Botany Manor’s puzzles. Surrounded by the pastoral sights and sounds of the 19th-century countryside, Arabella must learn to grow a variety of demanding greenery.
A curious mind will help you discover the secrets to making Botany Manor’s plants thrive. You’ll explore the grounds, tap on objects, and gather information in your research journal. The more you discover, the more you learn, and the more you’ll unlock, as clues like notes, letters, and Victorian contraptions from all corners of the manor lead you to solutions. And there's more to uncover than just plants, as you’ll gradually learn the story of Arabella and her life’s challenges.
