Hi! I'm Edwige, the game director of The Abbess Garden. It might ring a bell as I have presented this historical video game on this sub previously 🌿  
  
I'm very happy to announce that the game is now available on Steam for PC and Steam Deck!

In the Abbess Garden, you play as Agnes, a 17th-century young peasant who tends the gardens of an abbey during times of spies and court drama. The game story is about (real) spies, court drama and queer romance. It mixes history and fiction, has real plants and a change of seasons :)

It has been created with Sylvain Hilaire, a historian who did his PhD on the monument where the game takes place (Port-Royal-des-Champs abbey, now a national museum, an interesting place which was very important in French history).

It's an indie game, so it's rather short (about 6H to complete it :) ), and it has been done with a limited budget, but with a lot of care :)

We have been working on the game since May 2024, and have run several playtests/demo surveys since then :) Many thanks to the players who participated and helped us improve it, including the one from this sub 💖  
  
I hope you’ll like it!!!    
  
I’ll be happy to answer your questions!
