Lavender’s Botanicals is a game about managing a personal care business founded on all-natural, green-friendly ideas and having a positive impact on the environment around you. You will travel the world, meet interesting people and discover exciting new ingredients and recipes, having a positive effect while improving your business.
You’ll be able to navigate through all the game’s features with the main interface of the game. Three buttons are very important:
1. Go to the World Map: to travel to a new city.
2. Go to the City Screen: to visit local buildings to buy, sell, and create products.
3. Go to the Shop: to see useful information and trophies you’ve earned.
The buttons on the lower left of the screen will let you change the display in the information window at the bottom. The buttons are the following:
1. Inventory: all your ingredients and products along with useful information about them.
2. Messages: information about everything that you’ve seen and done.
3. Factories: all your factories, their production rate, and useful information about them.
You’ll be buying ingredients from suppliers and selling product to buyers. Purchases automatically go to your inventory and sales automatically take products from your inventory. You’ll have to take into account that ingredient prices vary all around the world. Products will be more expensive in the places where their ingredients aren’t available.
The factories are the places where you produce items to sell around the world. You will select the product you want to produce in each factory. If you don’t have enough ingredients to produce your selected product, you will see a red cross on top of the product. Sometimes you’ll be able to play minigames that allow you to achieve some goals. As long as you keep stock of ingredients, the factory will keep producing at the established rate each day. The color of the factory indicates its status (green, yellow, and red).
