Story description

A tiny allotment, a bundle of seed packets and a community garden where everyone has advice and nobody agrees.

Garden Plot 14 is an interactive slice-of-life story about one year in a community garden, from the first radish to the harvest supper.

A year in the soil

  • Dig, sow, water, fight slugs and survive a surprise frost.
  • Swap seedlings, share cuttings and take part in the allotment society's AGM.
  • Watch a small, weedy plot turn into something that is yours.

Beryl, at Plot 13, has been watching your plot go to seed for two years. Dev chairs the garden and keeps a spreadsheet of who owes whom tomatoes. Wren, a teenage volunteer, is unexpectedly good with bees. Everyone else is different every time you play.

Gentle, earthy and quietly funny

No plot, no villain: just seasons, plants and people.

The bramble is bigger than you hoped. Where do you start?
