Comments on Strange Horticulture for Android

★★★★★ Caraiya · Jul 20, 2026
This game is complex and engaging as you move through the story of a horticulturist thrust into a strange plot. The mechanics are familiar but presented uniquely. There are no microtransactions. Plus, there are multiple endings. It does have a drawback: the graphics. Text is tiny and plants are detailed; zooming isn't enough. Be careful of eye strain. Also, it's right-oriented only, but that's minor. It's a fantastic game!
★★★★★ Angelina Khoo · Sep 28, 2026
Perfect cozy game with occult vibes for plant and puzzle lovers
★★★★★ MKK · May 25, 2026
There is nothing like it! From the background music, to the story with multiple endings, and of course Hellebore, this is hands down my favorite puzzle game. You need to be able to read and pick up on context clues. I have beaten this game some many times on steam at this point it's an addiction, and now I have it on my phone 😂 hoping they bring Strange Antiquities to the phone as well!
★☆☆☆☆ D G · Jul 16, 2026
The text of this game capitalizes scientific epithets in plant names. I know it's just a game, but it's hard to have fun with such a huge botanical error breaking immersion.
★☆☆☆☆ this or that · Jul 20, 2026
Amazing game, but it's REALLY not optimized for mobile. It's janky and crashed my phone several times, plus it consumes HUGE amount of battery. Edit: Actually, forget it. It crashed THREE TIMES just in the past 30 mins, the game is unplayable at this point, even tho I loved it so much that alone has soured my experience tremendously. Paying for jank is a huge frustration. It will remain 1 star until the devs care to optimize it for mobile.
★☆☆☆☆ Katheryne Ammerman · Jun 14, 2026
I was excited when o saw this game because I liked the esthetic amd liked the idea pf learning about new plants. No tutorials, no guide of any sort just throws you in the game with no idea where to start and the one hint it did give isn't really helpful and after completing the action doesn't progress the game anyway.

Description by Plug In Digital Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
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.
