What will grow in the lab?

City girl Sorrel Swanson is chilling in her botany lab when she is forced to work with an unexpected nemesis: her old middle school bully, Caleb Countermann. Their task is simple: to grow and crossbreed the ultimate poinsettia. Caleb isn’t very happy to be there, and Sorrel’s even less so. But with the snows coming in, they’re stuck together, and they have to learn to get along. Perhaps they've both changed enough along the way to be a better fit...?

Features

  • ~3k enemies to lovers story
  • Charming gameplay where you plant, water, grow, and crossbreed plants
  • Shop system with upgrades
  • Adorable artwork and character portraits
  • Delightful bossa nova soundtrack

Gameplay Notes

  • Seeds are created the next day, after you click and drag to two plants. The bee will go grey once you've clicked and dragged to both successfully; then the seed bag will appear. Click and drag to plant!
  • There is an extra plant you unlock at 9-9 points, which makes the story a lot smoother. We made it a little harder to unlock than we expected, so do your best to grab it!
