Hi! We are about to release Strange Horticulture on your pocket devices in March! App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/strange-horticulture/id6450008138 Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1574580/Strange_Horticulture/ Strange Horticulture is an occult puzzle game in which you play as the proprietor of a local plant store. Trailer: If you have any question about the game, feel free to ask!
I was first put off by its app icon on the store and didn’t look at it in more detail until yesterday where I was pleasantly surprised as it looks interesting. I wondered is it a pure puzzle game or does it have other elements? Like if your running a store are there any management, sim or rpg elements?
I already had this preordered from a while back. Love the art style and especially the font. Everything looks very neat and clean. Just the way I like it on mobile.
The game is story-driven, you just arrived in the store and don't know anything about plants, you just have your book to help you find out what the properties of a given plant are. You can name them (or use the auto-label feature). You'll have multiple customers coming every day with specific (or less specific) demands. You will unveil the story every day, and you will need to find out what the biggest secret of Undermere is by giving plants, exploring locations with the map, and even doing alchemy. There are multiple different endings, and you'll be able to make choices depending on what you believe is the correct option. Day after day, you'll unlock a new feature or object that will give you the opportunity to find out all the secrets of the game! There is no pricing, buying plants, or earning benefits to get new features in the game. We just release another App preview more focused on the story:
