The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
You sort and identify plants in a cozy shop while slowly uncovering a dark occult mystery, balancing calm exploration with a growing sense of unease.

What players say
Players describe Strange Horticulture as a cozy puzzle game with a dark, spooky atmosphere. The core loop of identifying plants using a book and organizing them is relaxing for some but tedious for others, especially due to the small text and cluttered interface. The game has multiple endings and a cat to pet, and opinions are mixed on whether it truly fits the mystery or detective genre.
