* GrandFinale: This is the last entry in the series to be made entirely by Blue Tea Games, and it definitely feels like a final sendoff. It codifies the mythos from the first half of the series by explaining how the various fairy tale characters received their powers (they're all Guardians of Flora), and specifically mentions Briar Rose, Princess Ivy, and Snow White, all of whom factor into puzzles throughout the adventure for a sense of BackForTheFinale. While the series would continue, the story arc of Flora's Guardians firmly ends here.
