About the Game

A Cosy Game About Fading Memories, Inner Conflicts, and Ageing.

Filomena, a kind-hearted grandmother, is shocked by the lifeless state of her garden.

Suddenly, she receives an invitation to participate in the prestigious Gardening Competition of the Year.

She now has just ten days to submit a photo of her garden, but at this time, she feels like something is oddly different.

  • Tend the Garden: Clean, prepare, plant, analyse, and water garden tiles.

  • Uncover Lost Tools & Memories: Unlock puzzle pieces to find lost memories in Frida’s sketchbook.

  • Receive Heartfelt Letters: Unfold the complicated truth of the family's past through emotional letters from Filomena's relatives.

  • Deal with Challenges: Face internal and external setbacks that threaten to derail the garden's progress.

  • Enter Filomena's Mind: Gain intimate insight into Filomena's thoughts through the days.

    A Tale in the Garden invites players to reflect on life, growth, and peace, all set within a beautiful and emotional narrative.
