What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I have already made significant changes to the game based on really helpful feedback from people who have shown interest in the game via social media. During the Early Access stage of development, I want to give players an opportunity to provide feedback that will help shape content for future updates. The main gameplay mechanics revolve around NPC visitors to The Kingdom of Gardenia, while the game is in Early Access I intend to add more NPCs to the roster, along with more plants, trees, cooking ingredients, recipes, music and keys to unlock new doors within the castle.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I am expecting the game to remain in Early Access for approx. 12 months, but this may be longer if I feel there is more opportunity to add content or improve the quality of the game.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of the game will include more NPC visitors, plants, trees, cooking ingredients, recipes, music and new rooms within the castle. I also have plans to expand the map, add new gameplay mechanics, story and characters with 3 significant content updates: The North Garden, The East Garden and The South Garden.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is in a fully playable state, with partial gamepad support for XBOX/Windows 10 style controllers, but I do expect players to come across minor bugs, or encounter camera/GUI issues when playing on unsupported screen resolutions (e.g. greater than 1920 x 1080). Some areas of the castle will remain locked, along with the fashion boutique (this will become unlocked in a future DLC pack). Please refer to the 'About This Game' section to learn more about all of the features and content currently implemented in the game.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will increase after Early Access to reflect the fact that the game will include more content.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I will be keeping the Community up to date with upcoming updates and new content, then asking for feedback on which types of NPCs, plants, trees, cooking ingredients and music people like, and what they would like to see in future updates. Please visit

About This Game

Who's getting off the train today? Who's getting off the train today? WHO'S GETTING OFF THE TRAIN TO-DAY?!

This is the question players will be asking themselves each morning in The Kingdom of Gardenia. You play as Roman, an orphan and former soldier, who travels to Gardenia in search of meaningful employment. There you will meet King Theseus IV, who has set you four objectives, which you will need to complete in order to help him restore the kingdom to its former glory:

Fame - Earn stars from visitor reviews, which they will post in the train station post box as they depart. Visitor reviews are broken down into four categories, with one star awarded for each category: Food - feed them enough of their favourite food in the Tavern, Flora - place their favourite flowers, plants or trees in the West Garden, where they are likely to see them, Florints - impress them with the wealth of the kingdom, the local currency is Gardenian Florint, Fondness - get to know them, by finding the right time and place to talk to them, as they peruse the garden during their visit. Don't forget to collect your 'meet and greet' and 'bon voyage' bonus stars by greeting visitors at the station as they arrive and wishing them farewell as they leave.

Fortune - Earn money each day when visitors buy a ticket to visit the kingdom as they get off the train. You can also earn money by selling flowers, plants and trees to visitors from the Flower Shop and Tree Nursery, and selling food and drink to them in the Tavern. The more stars you have earned, the more items will be available to order in the shops, and the more visitors you will receive each day, giving you a better chance to earn more money.

Flowers - Earn Garden Points (GP) by filling the West Garden with flowers, plants and trees. These can be ordered in the Flower Shop and the Tree Nursery, your orders will arrive by train the following day. In order to place objects in the world you will need to discover the Neural Lace device, which is powered by the precious mineral gardenium, this can be obtained by mining in the caves.

Family - King Theseus is all alone, but for a number of autonomous beings who run the shops and help service. Help him find his son Prince Felix by tracking down, and dealing with, the nefarious Bat King, whose presence is currently casting a dark shadow over the land.
