The Flower Shop is a dating and farming simulation game.
Steve's life has just taken a downward turn. His grades from his first semester in college are dismal, his relationship with his girlfriend is rocky at best, and now his dad is shipping him off to some farm for the summer so that he can "build character."
What's a poor, lazy, college kid to do?

I'm not sure how any girl or guy would find this...

As a result of his poor grades in college, his father sent him to a remote town in Fairbrook to help out at his uncle's farm over the summer.
At his...
Apparently I suck at this game, since I had three playthroughs were I ended up alone and a fouth were I got a girl I didn't aim for. The farming gameplay is utterly useless, since you earn money just go buy more seeds and your work at the garden doesn't seem to influence anything for the characters.
