About this game

Strange Horticulture is an occult puzzle game in which you play as the proprietor of a local plant store. Find and identify new plants, pet your cat, speak to a coven, or join a cult. Use your collection of powerful plants to influence the story and unravel Undermere’s dark mysteries.

WELCOME TO UNDERMERE

Welcome to Undermere, a quaint town surrounded by hag-infested forests and rugged mountains. You are the Horticulturist, owner of local plant store Strange Horticulture. As a cast of colorful customers come by your shop, you are quickly thrust into an occult mystery stretching back hundreds of years.

EXPLORE THE LANDS BEYOND

Explore the lands beyond your store to find new plants, but be careful! The dark woods and lakes are not always friendly to a simple herbalist. You might discover powers beyond your wildest dreams - or lose your mind completely. Use context clues to determine which places to visit, and which to avoid!

AN EVER-GROWING COLLECTION

Using your trusty encyclopedia and clues found on your explorations, you learn more about the strange plants you come across. By identifying each plant, you will be able to use their effects to influence the story -- from hypnotic hallucinogens to powerful poisons.

REDESIGN FOR MOBILE

The game has been reworked to offer the best experience possible on your mobile device and tablet. Enjoy your interactions with the world of Undermere in the greatest settings.

Ratings and reviews

I love the game. I do find my phone screen a bit too small (even with the zoom function) but that's not really the game's fault. My only issue with the game itself is that using the long shelf of plants can be a bit tricky at times - if I'm at one end of the shelf and need a plant from the other end, it takes a minute to get to the plant I need. Also, the shelf's arrows don't always work quite right - sometimes they're not responsive enough, other times they're almost too responsive.

Such a lovely game with a nice, cozy/spooky vibe. Great storyline, lovely art, and a very unique style of gameplay. My only criticisms: the descriptions of the plants are sometimes so vague that you have to guess, which is frustrating. The one "broken mind" puzzle with the shattered plate is absurdly difficult. Even with the magnifying glass, the text is still a little hard to read, particularly the map. Overall, I deeply enjoyed Strange Horticulture, and thank the devs for their hard work! ☘️

I enjoyed this game, it's solid. I have had it on my wishlist on steam and was thrilled when I could try it on my phone. I didn't have many issues & the game seems optimized. The scroll bar can be hyper sensitive near the plants at times, but nothing detrimental. No crashes or glitches. It's easy to learn the game, some of the puzzles give you a good challenge. I do feel like it can be slightly unclear at times what the overall goal is or what you should be doing.I love creativity of the concept
