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

As someone who loves plants, creepy stories and games with a slowpaced, engaging storyline, this game has hit all the spots!!! I love the artisitic style, the background music, the characters. My only wish is that I had a tablet vs. playing on my phone. Still playable on a phone but would be amazing on a bigger screen.

This game is complex and engaging as you move through the story of a horticulturist thrust into a strange plot. The mechanics are familiar but presented in a unique way. There are no microtransactions. Plus, there are multiple endings. It does have a drawback: the graphics. Text is tiny and plants are detailed; zooming isn't enough. Be careful of eye strain. Also, it's right-oriented only, but that's minor. It's a fantastic game!

This game has been delightful. I wish a few things were different but I know it would have taken extra work to create the different storylines and outcomes. I wish you could give anyone anything like a real horticulturist, and deal with the fallout good and bad. I wish you could give Ambrella instead of the Elixir of the Damned to Alden Gregory day 15, or turn customers away altogether. Wonderful game!
