How it feels

A quiet, conversational experience where you care for a talking plant and shape outcomes through a unique dialogue system.

What players say

Players describe a very short visual novel (under an hour) about a botanist talking to a flower. The unique choice system uses sliders for care, honesty and openness. Reviews consistently note the depressive mood, frequent grammar errors, and a single music track that grows repetitive. Long-time players mention it was abandoned in Early Access before a sudden engine update and full release.
