A new free giveaway has started in the Epic Games Store. Until February 5, 2026, users can add Botany Manor to their library — a cozy exploration puzzle game from Balloon Studios, set in Victorian England. The promotion is available both for the PC version and through the EGS mobile app.

Players take on the role of Arabella Greene, a retired botanist living in a large 19th-century estate. By exploring the rooms of the house and the surrounding gardens, they must grow rare and demanding plants, finding the right conditions for each one. The puzzles are built around experiments with light, temperature, humidity, and the environment, while clues are hidden in letters, newspapers, botanical posters, and old notes. At the same time, the game tells the story of Arabella herself and her scientific journey in an era when women had to fight for the right to pursue science.

Botany Manor was released in April 2024 and has since collected more than 830 user reviews on Steam, 94% of which are positive.

The giveaway will run until February 12, 6:00 p.m. Moscow time.
