Romance Visual Novel 'Garden of Love' Opens Beta Registration

The game follows Blossom, a young woman navigating work, college, and daily commutes while recovering from heartbreak. Players interact with five characters, each represented by a plant, and choices shape relationships through an affinity system leading to distinct endings. The art style mixes chalk drawings and watercolor paintings, and beta access is now available via request.

The beta build is accessible through Steam, where interested players can request access rather than receiving an automatic invite. The game's five romanceable characters are each tied to a specific plant motif, with the affinity system determining which narrative branch players ultimately reach. Blossom's story unfolds across three settings—her workplace, her college campus, and public transit—allowing for varied encounter opportunities.

The visual presentation shifts between two distinct artistic techniques, with chalk drawings and watercolor paintings used to reflect different emotional states or narrative moments. The game is listed alongside other indie titles in the adventure and simulation categories, suggesting a hybrid approach to genre classification that blends traditional visual novel storytelling with relationship management mechanics.
