Get ready, budding botanists — the critically acclaimed botanical puzzle game Botany Manor will be available on PlayStation® consoles next week! On January 28, you'll be able to explore a historical English homestead brimming with a lifetime of memorabilia and research to discover on a whole new platform. Uncover long-forgotten seeds and piece together clues to solve puzzles to help each rare plant grow.
Botany Manor on PlayStation takes advantage of the immersive features of the PlayStation DUALSHOCK® 4 and DualSense® controllers. Flip through the pages of Arabella Greene's herbarium using button controls or touch pad motion, while the light bar echoes the vibrant hues of each flower as they bloom.
The enduring estate of Botany Manor is home to retired botanist Arabella Greene. After a long career, she has amassed a collection of rare, long-forgotten plants that require some research to help them live again. Play as Arabella and explore the stunning historic manor and its grounds to look for clues in her notes, books, posters, and items scattered around the residence to determine the correct set of circumstances to help the flora flourish. Unlock new seed varieties and plant them. Interactable items around the property that can be turned and flipped will provide information to help you solve each gardening puzzle, grow the plants and discover their mysterious qualities.
