In a world where twilight blurs the lines between reality and metaphor, siblings Ren and Akira navigate a labyrinth of inherited secrets tied to their family’s vanishing greenhouse—a sanctuary where flowers bloom with human desires. After discovering a faded journal hinting at a forbidden bond between their ancestors, their quest to revive the garden awakens sentient flora that mirror their repressed emotions. As petals whisper truths and roots twist into cryptic puzzles, Ren and Akira must confront whether their growing closeness is genuine connection… or the garden’s manipulation. But when a spectral botanist from the past warns that some blooms are best left wilted, the siblings face a choice: burn the garden to ash or let its thorns rewrite their souls.
Gameplay:
1. Floral Empathy: Cultivate plants that reflect NPCs’ hidden emotions; nurture specific blooms to unlock dialogue paths or reveal memories that alter relationships.
2. Duality Pruning: During twilight hours, trim overgrown garden sections to shift reality—prune ruthlessly for power, or gently to preserve fragile story branches.
3. Metaphor Crafting: Combine symbolic items (a rusted locket, withered roses) in the greenhouse to unlock surreal dream sequences that test the siblings’ resolve.
Features:
1. Living Canvas Art: Environments evolve in real-time, with petals falling to form clues and vines crawling across menus to signal rising tension.
2. Echoed Ancestry: Mini-games reconstruct fragmented family tapes, where players’ choices in the past retroactively alter present-day dynamics.
3. Veiled Desires System: NPCs react to subtle cues (a lingering glance, a shared keepsake) that gradually escalate or defuse romantic subtexts.
Tips:
1. Follow the Pollen: Floating particles guide players to interactable objects during critical narrative forks.
2. Rotate Perspectives: Replay scenes as Akira to spot details Ren misses—their combined insights unlock the true ending.
3. Wither Strategically: Letting certain plants die can purge toxic story paths, but overuse may leave the garden barren.
