Cozy little game where all you have to do is water plants, keep them healthy, and personalize rooms to make them your own. It's extremely cathartic after a long day of work, and a nice change of pace from what I usually play.
Games about cultivating plants and flowers always fascinate me, from the chill zen games to something more action packed like Plants vs. Zombies. Something that always plays a part in these games is time. Watching plants grow and waiting for them to grow. Garden In! nails a lot of things, but it could certainly slow down a bit.
The time plants take to grow in the game is too long for you to have it open and observe, but the needs of the plants drain too quickly that just returning after a couple of hours is overwhelming. As the game already uses real-life time, it could let you check in on your garden once every day, and feel the growth over time. As it is, you'll return after a few hours, see all the plants dried, water everything, and then plants go straight from little sprout to full plant instantly.
Despite this, the game is still very visually appealing, the dioramas you can built are really charming, and you have a lot of control and options for object placement and colors. You can also see how the bred flowers sometimes carry certain elements from the parents and their designs are cool looking.
Overall I think the visuals and customization the player have are strong, but it is somewhat disappointing to check in and see everything infested and dry after so little time has passed. Even if just some water will make everything look good again, I wish I could feel I have been taking good care of the plants day after day.
