Love the music of the game, it really fits the story. I quite like the kakapo in the story, its set like you would portray an old friend. And having story elements is a very clever way to do a tutorial, I don't like how I sometimes have to scroll down the page to read the story though I was quite confused on what to do next until i saw the scrollbar on the side. I also found that the button to rest was often hidden in the story, and it was not obvious as the way to progress some of the time, maybe underline it to make it look more like a link? The text also spills off the box sometimes, the "Yours?" option was quite hard to see against the thick grey border in the scene where Kerry is talking about magic. The "learn" option is a nice addition, and it is nice to read about the plants i am planting and their uses. But it seems that when I have 2 options of plant, both buttons then plant coreopsis, even if I have another plant in the button, -perhaps a bug with the code filling the buttons with text. Overall I loved the game and how through regenerative gardening you regenerate yourself. The music perfectly fit the narrative. However there were a few errors in the final "scene" to do with closing tags.

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback.
The UI issues are helpful to hear about - I didn't spend much time testing screen size variants, so I'll make sure to work on the layout on my next build. I definitely agree that I should make the rest link more visible. I will turn both it and explore into a button.
The planting does get buggy once I introduce more plots. I *think* I know what's going on, but I'm going to sit and give that a fix, since it's a pretty big part of the game!
I'm happy to hear that you were able to get to the end of the game! Completely missed that layout issue and added </div> to fix it - great bug catch with an easy fix :D
