About

Herbarium Casebook

Features
Read full description

Herbarium Casebook is a cozy botanical deduction puzzle game. Open a quiet herbarium packet, inspect the pressed specimen, compare botanical plates, read the field note, and pin the evidence that proves which archive label is wrong. Each case teaches real observation skills: leaf shape, flower structure, habitat, season, stems, seed heads, and caution labels. The app is not a plant identifier, foraging guide, medical tool, or safety tool. It never asks you to photograph, taste, eat, smell, gather, or handle real-world plants. Every puzzle is solved from offline in-game evidence. Included free: Garden Gate chapter with 10 authored cases. Herbarium Drawer for solved free cases. Field Table comparison for free chapter plants. Full Herbarium Unlock: One-time non-consumable purchase. Unlocks all four launch chapters and 30 additional cases. Unlocks the complete Field Table comparison set. No subscription. No trial. No auto-renew. Standard Apple Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
