"FANTASTIC GAME"

"FANTASTIC GAME" This game was recommended to me by my 30ish daughter. I'm 70 yrs old and after initially wanting to pull my hair ( what little there is ) out, the game became more & more addictive. I've played it through twice, finding 2 of the 8 endings and can't rave about this enough. It's great exploration, graphics and story line kept me returning multiple times through the day, much to the detriment of other things that needed doing. I'm going to try the tags to see if I can find similar games. Highly recommend

I get to fulfill my childhood dream of being a witch horticulturist and making and selling potions elixirs

I get to fulfill my childhood dream of being a witch horticulturist and making and selling potions elixirs. What's not to like?? I will say though, i wish there was a way to make notes, in the book, on the map, on recipes, whatever. I have a terrible memory, and if i could just jot little notes down in my plant book, it would make my life so much easier. (for instance, while i can go the the page for say...Storium, the picture looks nothing like the actual plant. Ideally, i'd be able to make a little note in my book that says "Long stems" or "Check the third shelf" or whatever. My only actual complaint (and it's really probably a "i'm an adhd gremlin" thing more than a complaint) is that the final quest doesn't give you any notes. You have to actually read what people are saying and remember it. Which uh. I did not. And i just kind of went with the person who talked to me last so that i could continue, even though that wasn't actually what i wanted to do. Again, the ability to make my own notes would have been super helpful here, because i definitely would have written those conversation down if i'd had the option. Overall, 10/10, i love this game, and i'm probably going to play it multiple times because this is the only way i will ever be able to have plants in my vicinity without aliven't-ing them.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with early onset dementia

I’ve recently been diagnosed with early onset dementia . This game has been a breath of fresh air . Helping the customers and investigating the clues you find along the way is very satisfying . My short term memory has been worsening for a while but I find that this games really is helpful. So I highly recommend this game. I hope the developers continue to add more to the game.
