Available on Itch.io, 'The Rose Garden' is a relaxing puzzle game that tasks players with mixing seeds, growing flowers and learning about famous women. Debuted at EGX 2018, this unique indie game has players with plant and grow flowers within a small circle of rocks. Players will also have to document these plants in a notebook while moving them around and combining them to force them to burst into new seeds for planting.
All of the flowers logged in The Rose Garden are named after famous women and documenting each one will teach the player about the person whose name is attached to it. This allows players to slowly, and tactfully, discover each famous woman all while watching their seeds grow.
This quality of education in The Rose Garden serves as a secondary factor in the game as the main focus is on serenity and relaxation while virtually gardening.
