When Mother Nature speaks to you... will you listen?
Set in early 1900s England, Secrets In Green is a historical slice of life/horror visual novel with an intriguing mystery.
CONTENT WARNING: THIS GAME EXPLORES THEMES OF MENTAL ILLNESS, AND DEPICTS MOMENTS OF MILD THREAT AND VIOLENCE THAT SOME MAY FIND DISTURBING.
Our protagonist, Alma, is sent to a cottage in the countryside to recover from an unfortunate episode of mental illness. As a lover of plants, she finds peace tending to the overgrown garden on the property. However, while admiring the large ivy growing across its fence, she discovers a leaf bearing a single written word - hello. Naturally, her father and carer brush it off as nothing but a hallucination - a symptom of her hysteria. Little do they know that this message is very, very real.
Alma must now fight a battle that has been fought again and again throughout history - the struggle of making yourself heard and respected as a female in a very male dominated world, in a period of history where women were downtrodden and dismissed. Can she solve the mystery before it's too late?
This curious visual novel features:
- Fully illustrated backgrounds and character graphics
- A 14,000 word story
- Partial voice acting
- Several player choices, and three possible endings to achieve
- An evocative, original soundtrack
- A powerful message of female empowerment!

I enjoyed this abundantly, the story got more intense then I realized it would get and I love the story for it, so bold with such a positive message and outcome. Great Work!
I'm honoured to receive such praise for my lil story! Thank you so much 💜
loved it! Thank you
An incredibly charming, tense adventure! I love the way the narrative leads you to question Alma as she questions herself, and then gradually realize that she's been dismissed and gaslit for far too long as she realizes it herself. 💚Genuinely a lovely, thrilling package!
I'm so happy to hear feedback like this! Thank you so much 💜
