Flower in Us

Beautiful game. music is amazing and doesn't last too long, but just long enough to leave an impression on you. Both main characters have fantastic designs who also have captivating stories that can resonate with some people even if some details aren't the exact same. Dialogue feels realistic but also gets heavy hitting near the end which I think is amazing. Puzzles don't feel too difficult or long but feel very rewarding when you get them solved. The way the characters are shot in certain scenes also help you give a sense of their character, you can feel all the emotion on Peony whenever her emotions changes, the realistic photos also give a very offputting feeling but are incredibly done. Every piece of this game is done extremely well and it should get more recognition, if not for the story or gameplay, at least for the art and music. Hope a new game is released whether it be a prequel of either Peony or Moss, or a sequel that can build up on what was already done with both characters.

I loved every aspect of the game! May it be story, small escape room as well as how the whole story unfolds itself. I was completely submerged into the story, we even get to hear my fav piece of tchaikovsky, Waltz of the Flowers :) More about the game, in brief its the encounter between two people moss (you) and Peony. Both of your story comes to vengeance, and at its end you get to choose how to handle the cycle of it. Truly an amazing game and would LOVE to get the partiture of the OST piano, though its quite expensive lol. Anyway, if you happen to read this, you should definitively give it a try, it is really worth a shot and only asks about 2-3 hours of your free time.

This game is if Detention and OMORI had a daughter. I enjoyed the story and how it unfolded, the art style is beautiful, and the puzzles are okay. Weirdly it runs so poorly on Steam Deck, I had a couple of crashes, and the game unstable and laggy.

Très bon

While this game is listed as a mystery, I'd personally categorize it a bit closer to being suspense revolving around the protagonist and the titular character. If you enjoy escape rooms and character-driven stories about forgiveness, Flower In Us is a nice 3-hour game with simple but effective puzzles motivated by a character dynamic that, at least for me, brought me to really want to see the best outcome for both characters. If you're not really someone who cares about characters in their respective stories or can't stand emotionally charged character actions as opposed to those which are 'constantly reasonable' or 'constantly the right choice', it might make it more difficult for you to enjoy the story. However, for people like me who are a sucker for tragic dynamics and stories that revolve around characters that had once done terrible things then eventually change themselves for the better, I think that the story of this game will most definitely provide you with something worthwhile. Some folks might not be a fan of the 'true' ending, but I know I personally enjoyed it. If you look at the story as being about forgiving oneself while still demonstrating kindness to those that have wronged you, I think the ending is a lot more fitting than others may suggest. This was a very nice and atmospheric little journey for me to find, and I'm glad I shilled $8 for it. The music, art, and aesthetics are also really nice as well, and some of the moments can really keep you a bit tense.
