This was an interesting experience that largely reminded me of flash point and click games from the early oughts. It really has potential to tell some great environmental stories.
Sometimes the overlayed UI meant I had to be a bit more specific when trying to cut rotten roots as you can't cut through the overlay and once I moved from the first area I was confused by the symbol for "plant roses here" appearing where you could backwards and forwards (and there being two of them) but overall this has amazing potential and I will be coming back to it once phase 2 ends!
Nice nostalgic game!
