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

There is nothing like it! From the background music, to the story with multiple endings, and of course Hellbore, this is hands down my favorite puzzle game. You need to be able to read and pick up on context clues. I have beaten this game some many times on steam at this point its an addiction and now I have it on my phone 😂 hoping they bring Strange Antiquities to the phone as well!

UI is not optimized for phones. I may try this game out on steam, but the phone version is very much just vaguely made into a touchscreen game with no optimization for it being on a MUCH smaller screen. Just trying to flip through the book and label plants at the very start had me struggling because the book would be set down when I tried to flip a page or vice versa. It could use a whole layout change beyond "If you can't read the tiny text, use two fingers to zoom in!".

Puzzle game, providing folks with plants described by a strange book and exploring the map for new plants. It requires attention to detail, but it's interesting and very relaxing so far. Lots of text, so not a great "second screen" game. I'm enjoying the gameplay, and curious about the plot
