We're so excited to share Botany Manor won the Accessibility Award at the #GamesForChange awards!

The team put a lot of work into accessibility features, colour-blind legibility for clues and designing the game to be gentle to the player. As a small studio, it means a lot to see it recognised ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’š

Botany Manor is a delightful puzzle/exploration thing. It's a rare game that explores the power fantasy of not only being able to keep potted plants alive, but induce unto them instant growth. Also this game is GORGEOUS and whoever designed the titular manor needs more recognition LOOK AT THIS PLACE
