If you're looking for a cozy yet spooky puzzler, Strange Horticulture is it. The graphics are fantastic, the story is intriguing, and the puzzles require you to really use your noggin without being too hard. I loved running my own gloomy little plant shop and helping to solve a murder mystery along the way. Absolutely recommend!

Great game. Macabre atmosphere, cozy and non-stressful gameplay, branched story. Really liked the puzzles for obtaining plants. Everything incorporated into the game works nicely and logically. Special thanks for epilogue where you can gain all the missed plants and encyclopedia entries

Played this twice already and it's a fun and relaxing experience. I really enjoyed organising the shop and plants and exploring on the map. I just wish there were more "random" customers, just needing another plant. Currently you sell the vast majority of plants only once and the mystery progresses quite fast. I always want to stay longer in that shop and just have a good time figuring out, want plant someone needs and have the mystery develop much slower. Nontheless: A great game with a great atmosphere!

Really great game, I sat down and finished it in one night. I just wish that there was more after game content. Once you beat the game, you can go back and finish identifying any remaining plants, but it would be cool if you could enter into an endless game mode where you simply fill out orders. I wanted to do more puzzle solving in terms of figuring out what elixirs to use, what plants could cure ailments caused by other plants, and play around more with the lab set. But please buy this game! You won't regret it!
