    Loved it. Wish there was a little more agency. Like real consequences to getting the puzzles incorrect. But the game was delightful. I loved having to try to identify plants.

    it's a great game but it needs improvement with one of the quests which might've been lagged. It makes you feel involved and in nice place

    A genuine delight. Atmospheric and enchanting. Puzzles are interesting and free from timers. Very chill and relaxing to play.

    This was an enjoyable little game! The puzzles ranged from very easy to moderately challenging, but I never felt like I was too stuck to move on. I enjoyed the "workspace" your character has...A little desk with drawers, and shelves for plants. There are a few choices you can make that will effect the fates of some of your customers, which I appreciated. I'd recommend it to someone lookingThis was an enjoyable little game!

    I really enjoyed playing Strange Horticulture. Although at times the puzzles were a little too challenging, it’s certainly a game I would—one—play again, and—two—absolutely recommend to others. It’s not simply filled with puzzles, but the educational aspect is really entertaining, as you learn useful facts about the many different plants. I may not have a green thumb, but this game certainly makes me want to get one—even if only virtual!

    Strange Horticulture is a shining example of why indie games are worth the time to look into. The art, sound, and story show that simple and subtle design is truly transcendent when the execution is done well.

    Strange Horticulture is a puzzle game where you identify plants and mushrooms for the clients of your herbal store and explore the map following the clues. It’s a game for you if you don’t mind staring at one screen or browsing a swelling botanical handbook – especially if you enjoyed Potion Craft.
