About this game
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
Impactful player choices, and three possible endings to achieve
An evocative, original soundtrack
A strong message of female empowerment!

Secrets In Green Coming Soon!
Hello Steam buddies, and welcome to Secrets In Green! Developer Borealis here, and I'm super happy to be releasing my third game. This one has quite a different setting from my previous ones - this time, we're going back to Victorian England to explore the struggle that women went through during such a tough period of male-centric society. You guys know I always like to slip some kind of important theme or message into my games, and as a non-binary female, this one is a recurring theme in my life. Therefore, I crafted Secrets In Green to show support, encouragement and solidarity for women and other gender/sex marginalised people 💜 Something I also wanna clarify is that while this game is marked as a horror, it's much less so than True Colours. For anyone who's a little worried about dark/disturbing content, Secrets In Green is relatively safe in comparison. So then! I'll be dropping our official release date very soon, but for now, feel free to pop this intriguing mystery on your wishlist and spread the word to all your mates! More updates soon!
