It’s almost time to open the stately doors of Botany Manor, as the beautiful plant puzzle game is launching on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox in just a few weeks. Developer Balloon Studios has announced the release date for Botany Manor, including a day one launch on Xbox Game Pass.
The enduring estate of Botany Manor is home to retired botanist Arabella Greene. After a long career, she has amassed a collection of rare, long-forgotten plants that require some research to help them live again.
You play as Arabella as you explore the stunning historic manor and its grounds. Your goal? To look for clues in her notes, books, posters, and items scattered around the residence to determine the correct set of circumstances to help the flora flourish. You’ll unlock new seeds and plant them. Interact with items around the property, turning and flipping them to provide information to help you solve each gardening puzzle. As you grow the plants you’ll discover their mysterious qualities.
