About Strange Horticulture
You're a plant shop owner in a mysterious town who identifies strange plants and uses them to solve an occult mystery spanning centuries. Mixing exploration, plant collection, and consequence-driven storytelling, Strange Horticulture lets your botanical discoveries reshape a dark tale of cults and ancient secrets.
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 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!
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.

Super fun game that really makes you think. Some of the puzzles made me feel like a complete moron sometimes but I liked the varying difficulties. Will definitely be playing again for the alternate endings. Super satisfying, great story, and beautiful artwork. Can definitely see myself coming back to this game again and again!
Great short-ish experience, I'm not going to replay the whole game to see changes - I wish there was a better way of doing that, but very fun flow to go through.
This game is a lot of fun! It has ominous atmosphere, which matches its story. I enjoyed the puzzle aspects in figuring out the plants and the clues to find the plants. I also enjoyed having some choices on how to interact with people and having that the end screen show the repeat characters and what happened to them.
i wish this game was longer, i could play like 100hrs of this. that's my one critique, i want more T-T
Beautiful story, beautiful plants, beautiful art.
a very cosy organisation puzzle game all about the medicinal and magical properties of plants and flowers. 10/10
