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.  A keen gardener, she finds peace tending to the overgrown garden on the property.  However, while pruning the large plant growing across its fence, she discovers a leaf bearing a single written word - hello.  Naturally, her father and carer brush this discovery 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?
