To succeed in Evergarden, you don’t need a green thumb—you need serious puzzle-solving skills.
Help a foxlike creature named Fen by growing flowers in a garden of hexagonal tiles. Merge two of a kind to raise successively larger flowers—or drag a plant to an empty tile and plant a new seed.
Each round of gardening lasts 10 turns, and you earn points for every flower you make or merge. But the real challenge is pleasing Fen, who suggests specific patterns for you to create—and rewards you with extra points and special items.
Evergarden encourages you to learn as you play—which suits the game’s emphasis on discovery. New mechanics are steadily introduced to add challenge, depth, and mystery. Solving puzzles unearths collectibles, which connect the puzzle board to the broader forest in clever, eye-opening ways.
With its beautiful graphics and soothing audio, Evergarden keeps you calm even as you furiously work through its puzzles. Don’t be surprised if it grows on you.
