Balloon Studios' much-anticipated plant puzzle game, Botany Manor, is set to launch on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox on April 9, 2024. Players can pre-order their copy on Xbox starting today. In this game, players take on the role of retired botanist Arabella Greene, who has spent years collecting rare, long-forgotten plants. To help these flora flourish, players must explore the historic manor and its grounds, looking for clues in Arabella's notes, books, posters, and other items scattered around the residence.

One of the rare forgotten flora that players will encounter in Botany Manor is the Pixie Tears. This specimen requires a very specific set of circumstances to bloom, and players must consult Arabella's collection of research to determine what those circumstances are. A video showcasing how to make the Pixie Tears bloom can be found on the game's website.

Botany Manor features a beautifully rendered, historically accurate 19th-century manor, complete with calming rooms and peaceful grounds. Players can pick up, flip, turn, and rotate various items found around the estate to uncover clues and solve each plant-based puzzle. The game also offers a chance to learn about Arabella's life and career, as well as the challenges she faced as a woman scientist during the 19th century.

Key features of Botany Manor include a calming soundtrack, interactable items that provide information to help solve puzzles, and the ability to unlock new seeds and plant them. The game will be available in multiple languages, including English, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
