A gardener gets hired for maintenance work over the weekend. A simple task, but strangely some tools are missing… The owner of the garden isn't around, and their house is off-limits. Perhaps new tools can be found in the mysterious town, or maybe some of the reserved townsfolk have seen them?
The core gameplay loop tasks you with exploring the surrounding town, gathering an assortment of tools and items, and solving intricate puzzles to uncover the secrets of this peculiar locale. The game utilizes a time loop mechanic, allowing you to carry over knowledge and items from previous runs, facilitating a steady sense of progression as you piece together clues and unlock new pathways with each successive day. Experimentation is encouraged, as there are often multiple ways to approach a given puzzle or objective.
Puzzle-solving takes center stage, revolving around finding and using the right tools in the correct sequences and locations. These environmental puzzles require close observation of your surroundings, making connections between different elements to advance. Thoroughly investigating the town's nooks and crannies is crucial, as you never know what new discovery might yield a crucial breakthrough.
Amidst the mystery, the game incorporates gardening tasks that serve as a calming counterpoint. Trimming the grass, watering the flowers, and tidying the area provide a satisfying sense of accomplishment as you transform the unkempt garden. These gardening activities also sometimes provide clues or unlock new areas, further blending the puzzle-solving and horticultural aspects.
One of the game's standout features is its replayability and multitude of endings. With a total of 11 unique narrative conclusions, players are encouraged to experiment, make different choices, and uncover new secrets with each playthrough. As you accumulate knowledge and optimize your routes, the sensation of becoming a "speed gardener" is incredibly rewarding.
