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.
