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.

By identifying each plant, you will be able to use their effects to influence the story -- from hypnotic hallucinogens to powerful poisons.
Calm, Relaxing Game of Horticultural Story Telling
I love this game. I watched Gab Smolders play for about 30 minutes before trying to find it to play myself. It can be very fun to hear the stories of people and play doctor or help solve some puzzles using the plants you can discover. If you’re looking for a game with good story in between puzzles, this is it!
Boring
Cute idea, but very repetitive and very boring. There is no real storyline here.
This is great
Short story, compelling storyline. There are definitely a lot of plants so keep in mind that you’ll likely only play this game once.
Cannot move plants
On Monday day 4 and cannot move the plants to customers or to the microscope. Plants will not move at all!
Wonderful
Such a lovely, novel game. I never want it to end. The main mechanic is captivating, the puzzles along the way just the right kind of intriguing, and the plot line satisfying. I do so hope there will be more. Pet the cat.
Poor game design
Nice art style but the puzzles are oblique and very hard to figure out. Just google “lemon dandy” plus this game, and you’ll see the numerous questions from many people stuck in the first part of the game. Promising but wish I could get a refund.
Boring, maybe good for kids
From what I can tell all you do over and over is guess a plant from some small amount of clues. When you guess correctly you get new unidentified plants in your shop. There doesn’t seem to be any compelling overarching story, or reward system aside from gaining more plants. It seems to be a pointless cycle of get clue, guess which plant, receive new plant, get clue, guess plant… and on and on . If there ends up being more to it I’ll change my review, but I think I’ve been playing at least an hour or so at this point. The clues and plants aren’t even particularly interesting. Like find a red plant, find a waxy plant…zzzzzzz
