Our take on The Flower Collectors
The murder premise suggests an active detective thriller, but the central activity is quieter observation, interviewing, and timeline construction. The store page does identify the emphasis on narrative and character work, so players expecting frequent action or skill tests may find the scope narrower than the crime setup implies.
What is The Flower Collectors?
Set in Barcelona in 1977, this detective adventure follows Jorge, a retired policeman who uses a wheelchair and observes the neighborhood from his balcony.
After witnessing a murder during a storm, he works with Melinda, an ambitious young journalist, to investigate local residents and uncover hidden connections. Players use binoculars, a camera, and a transmitter to gather information, question characters, and piece together a chronology of events. The cast includes priests, beggars, club singers, and other anthropomorphic neighbors. The setting draws on post-Franco Barcelona and crime noir, with the experience focusing on character development, atmosphere, world building, and narrative rather than demanding skill-based challenges.
