About the Story
In this sprawling old-school puzzle game, you play as a resident of the Arboretum, which is a decaying city district cut off from the rest of world, fit only for hippies, zombies, and other disgusting creatures like yourself. Your goal is "to contact an outside force and escape the evil mind-numbing powers of the Arboretum."

Arboretum is a very busy game, with plenty of puzzles for you to think about and tackle all at once, so it's fairly non-linear and you can progress quite rapidly to approximately halfway. I found it interesting and entertaining, and although the location descriptions and writing are not outstanding, there is a definite sense of humour lurking throughout this game, despite the rather bleak scenery of the first few locations. Arboretum grabs your attention from the outset with its many and varied puzzles, its frenetic pace, and its huge variety of quaint red herrings.
