About

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.

    great so far! just make sure to notice that there is a book in the drawer. i was a bit confused in the beginning how I'm supposed to identify the plants 😅 but after that it gets really fun. edit: finished the game now :-) I got quite hooked!! one small criticism I have is that it doesn't always save when you sort the plants. I tried to put the ones i had identified in alphabetical order on the shelf to find them again more easily, but sometimes that wasn't saved after returning to the game.

    Nice short game. It's well-done overall. The art style is great, the plot keeps you interested. I played it from time to time over the course of about a week to get all the endings. Not a game you can replay, but there's a decent variety of riddles/puzzles to solve. I'd say the difficulty is medium, a bit easy if you've played this type of game a lot. But very enjoyable.

    Beautiful, unique, and relaxing. My only complaint is I wish it was longer! I'd love to see more stories in the future! (Also potentially a way to feed Hellbore or perhaps give him little hats)

    I've been looking for a good game that's unique and challenging for a long time on play store but there never seems to be anything new and if there are new ones they're all just alike and none keep my attention. This game was AWESOME! Not only was it challenging but it was new and fresh and unlike any other game on play store. I wish it could have been longer and would be more then happy to pay again for a Strange Horticulture 2! PLEASE MAKE A SEQUEL OF THIS GAME!!!!!

    The game overall is really good, some of the location puzzles are actually hard, I wish I had known that some of the location puzzles are time sensitive. I really liked the plants, they were cool and different, the book with descriptions was cute. I don't think this game is worth $6, it didn't even take me 12 hours to complete the game and once you identify all the plants there's nothing else to do, if I'm going to pay for a phone game it should be engaging for multiple days at least, too short.

    I initially bought this game just because I had some free credits but I would officially pay three times the cost of the game but it's listed price based on how much enjoyment I have found. the plant identification includes really make me think and the puzzles provide immense satisfaction when you figure out the riddles. this has officially become one of my favorite games alongside such classics as The Room and House of Davinci series. Highly Recommend!

    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.

    This is a fantastic game, I really enjoy it. However, it periodically crashes on my phone, and while most of my progress is saved, it's still extremely tedious and a little frustrating. Otherwise, I really enjoy this game. The atmosphere, putting together clues for each plants, and exploring the world is incredibly fun. Edit: I had to change from four stars to three. Every time I go into the game now, it crashes. It's sad because I really enjoy this game.

  • Sarah Baughman

    a truly lovely game that you can freely play at your own pace. No more waiting for stamina points to regenerate, just play as much as you'd like. the puzzles are challenging which I deeply love. I hope the develope more like this 💜

  • Katelin Thomas

    This game was so great! I really enjoyed it. But it was way too short!!! I finished it in only 2 days. I like the idea of multiple endings, so now I have to try to unlock the others. BUT! I really, really wish there were more mysteries and storylines to go through besides just the one. Or maybe make the story way longer so it can be more worth the $6. I'd prefer more stories/mysteries added, personally. Either way, I just wish it was more engaging than just a couple days' worth of gameplay.

  • Finneas Wilson

    Great game so far! Obviously I haven't finished it, but it's so cool! It reminds me a bit of Home Safety Hotline, but you actually get to DO stuff instead of just answering calls. It crashes sometimes, but that's fine since no progress has been lost yet. This newest update probably fixes that anyway.
