hello hello! i was working on this game back in november/december, but i wasn't able to finish it until now... i'm so happy i can finally release it ;_;

the gameplay is based on some mobile games i really enjoyed (like hungry hearts diner!!!) so i included a mobile download, since i feel like this one is probably best experienced on a phone

download here: https://nomnomnami.itch.io/astras-garden/patreon-access(you'll need an itch.io account to access the link)

public release will be sometime early may, because there are 4 translations almost finished, so i want to wait for those :) i need to put the art collection together too... maybe i can do that by this weekend hehe.

i'm not sure what else to say!!!! i'm really happy (but nervous) to be releasing something again. it's kind of a heavier game, but i love how it turned out. i love astragalus. i hope you all enjoy it!!!

<3 nami

Just finished the main game a 2nd time and getting to the true end. Loved it! Amazing work on the art, I can't wait for the art collection! The music and story are also really good. I'm so glad to see a return from you and I'm looking forward to supporting your future works!

Really love the game! Got to the end of this lovely story! Thought Lich Bane and Mourning Narcissus took awhile to get to compare to the other. Tho it dose help get into the head space of Astra job! Seeing Peri again was very nice too! Hope Vinegar story goes well for the future too!

Alan501

Yeah. Both time and money. Those two where the one I was actively waiting for their epilog. While the first two I got more naturally. By the story "end" Tea was at 100 and Drowsy was 60.

Thought with Lich Bane it was kind of neat think if Vinegar was going to show up at all. Sort of a story and gameplay syncing together. But at the end it was a bit too grindy. Thought I did like the random customer with a cast just showing up after so long.

I'm always trying to think of a critique to improve my vision over time but its rlly hard when the game casts that blinding love spell and i can't rlly think logically about it anymore ;-;)

A game about Astragalus? Screw that, when are you gonna make the game where we get to kiss Salt and Pepper?!??!!?! Just kidding. XP This was very good! a simple, gentle, relaxing game... and one with some intriguing grim parts to keep it interesting! It's great to have a game that goes into the topic of illness. It was fun to keep track of all the tasks - growing and watering, and keeping an eye out for customers to keep everything funded. It never got too fast-paced or unmanageable that it became stressful or annoying. Like I said, this is quite a gentle game. It only got a bit tricky during the epilogue, where I had to wait a little longer now and then for customers to show up, but that was during the epilogue, and I'm pretty sure that that was the point - to have a harder challenge in order to see all that extra story, so it makes sense. The characters were all drawn lovely, the backgrounds were easy on the eyes - simple but still with enough detail and colour - the music was pretty and relaxing, the sound effects were appropriate, clear and satisfying. It all came together to form a fun, gentle gaming experience. And, of course, the story was nice and engaging! It was nice to see a certain character again and see more of his backstory with Astragalus (I think you know who I'm talking about!) and that twist with the other character - I genuinely didn't see that coming! It was very moving, and when you look back on the earlier parts of the game it does kind of make sense, so it was a good twist! It was also good that you could replay the different interactions after you'd gone through them. I didn't do it myself - I wanted to just keep going to the end! - but I'm sure some people will appreciate that. I was going to complain that you couldn't save the game. I expect to be able to save visual novel-style games like this, so when I couldn't see a save feature that rather ticked me off, and I ended up playing all the way to the end in one sitting because I thought I would lose all my progress if I quit. However, it seems that the game will automatically save your progress when you quit, because I saw an option to 'reset' your data after I finished it. Is that right? Is that a common feature in games like this? Maybe I'm just not familiar with games like this, but maybe it would be worth putting a little notice somewhere in the game that explains that you don't need to manually save? Also, during the tutorial, it didn't explain that tapping the customers gives you money. I know that this might seem obvious, and I did figure that out quite quickly, but I did miss out on a bit of money before I realised this. At first I thought that the customers were just background decoration, and I would get money in a 'selling' mini-game or something. I know that the game tells you to tap on customers if you ever run out of money, but wouldn't it be a better idea to explain this in the tutorial? It might be too late to start changing things about the game at this stage, but if you can, those are just a few things to consider. Thanks for making this game! It was fun, interesting, a bit sad in parts, and great to get more backstory for these characters.

I finally decided to start playing late last night when I should have been in bed for about 10-15 minutes and already I'm so charmed and reminded of how much I love your artwork and writing! I'm confused about saving however. I decided to play the android version on your reccomendation, and once I was done for the night I quit the app without doing anything special since I couldn't find any save button, assuming my progress would save automatically. But when I came back today I couldn't find a way to pick up where I left off. Is there something I'm missing?
