Daydreams on the Moon

And the Playrix Games continues! As I've posted on my [previous blog](https://daydreamsonthemoon.blogspot.com/2020/07/homescapes-new-area-unlocked-lake-house.html), I've finally reached the unexpanded part in Homescapes, so now I've decided to set my sights on another one of their games titled, Gardenscapes.

Disclaimer: Screenshots were taken from a mode version of Playrix's Gardenscapes, if you don't want to be spoiled of the fun of what your future garden may look like, read no further than this line.

This game features you, the player, as having inherited a garden, so you fly over and meet Austin, your butler (yes, the same Austin in Homescapes who just happens to afford the house by the lake).

Your very first renovated garden!

Upon arriving at your estate, you find that most of the garden is in a state of disaster disrepair, and so as the game's title fortolds, you get to renovate the different areas in your huge garden (with the help of your butler, Austin).

You also get a dog in the process... #MeetMichelis

I once played this game before and it proved to be simple enough; to the point where you just renovate the place for the heck of it...

Why don't we just sit and stare at my marvelous fountain?

But then it started showing signs of a storyline...

...in the form of history.

And it all started with Captain Craig:

You can tell it's his statue, right?

Though the story of Captain Craig (and his descendants) only come up once in a while, and you're mostly given really rare finds in your garden that has you (and Austin) wanting to discover more about it. Take this place for example, you've a lake in your garden (yes, including the swans), but wait there's more!

You actually have these immortal mussels underwater! (Hence, the topiary.)

And here we find a different theme from your previous gardens:

East meets West

Circling back to the Captain Craig storyline, here we uncover a stable that once belonged to once of his descendants. It just so happens that Austin's dad wants to deliver a horse to us, so the area soon has a new guest.

And yes, you get to name the horse... #MeetCamelot

From here, we start to stray away from the Craig family storyline and later introduced to a lord's tragic love story about his affair with a circus dancer.

And when I say tragic, it means they don't end up together.

But hey, you got this pretty garden to make up for it.

Reaching the last garden area to be restored in this part of your estate, Austin is revved up to celebrate, so this is what he thought of:

Lakeside Barbeques...

...and more!

Yep! If you thought that was the end of Gardenscapes, well we're in for another surprise...

...and more renovations!
