This was a very unusual experience, I didn't imagine setting a game completely in the dark could be so effective. At first it was troublesome to even find where the plants are, and then I started to maneuver by probing all over the screen, kind of like when moving through darkness and touching everything - this actually felt very immersive!
And the descriptions you give to the plants are very evocative, when you described that the plant slurped the water or chuckled, I almost imagined that I'm not actually growing plants, but some weird creatures in pots, or even humans - this was somewhat terrifying.
Unfortunately I always manage to kill 2 out of 3 plants by day 3, but that's pretty consistent with my ability to care for plants in real life - none survive for long.
I did not expect to experience what I did.

What a fantastic way of describing my game, thank you for taking the time to play it and reply!
The concept / gameplay may be a little unintuitive, but I really wanted to capture what it would feel like to stumble around completely blind and let the player's imagination run wild. From the description of your experience, I think that you perfectly picked up on what I was aiming for.
Cheers, you made my day :)
