Secrets in Green

About

Secrets in Green follows Alma, a woman in Victorian England whose garden hides more than soil. A talking plant kicks off a mystery that tangles folklore, personal agency, and societal scorn. Players steer Alma through dialogue choices and exploration, balancing quiet investigation with bold moves in a world that doubts women’s instincts. The visual novel format blends static scenes with occasional puzzles, letting story and setting shape the pace. The game leans into its historical setting with sharp attention to period details while framing a narrative about self-discovery. Subtle shifts in tone mix eerie moments with introspective character beats, avoiding overt horror for a more grounded tension. With a December 2024 release, it joins a niche but growing space of narrative-driven indies that prioritize thematic depth over action. Borealis crafts a tale where solving a mystery isn’t just about finding answers, it’s about redefining who gets to ask questions.
