Strange Horticulture

作为主人公在小镇开着一家奇异植物店，收集辨认能力各异的植物，根据客人的需求提供不同植物，你的选择会导向不同结局。节奏缓慢的悬疑解谜游戏，除了提供植物推动故事发展还需要根据地图线索探索不同地点。前中期投入，后期容易疲乏，长时间辨认植物寻找线索对视力不友好。不过故事背景和怪物带点克味，我喜欢。

It feels more like work than a game, and not a cool job where you do interesting things, but a tedious repetitive one, that'll turn you into an old man, squinting and hunched over your screen trying to read the minuscule text. The main gameplay is just about flipping through a book and identifying plants from their book description, then writing little tags on those you have identified and eventually re-order them alphabetically because it will be soon getting unmanageable as the interface is @ss and you'll be spending half your time moving things around to remove clutter in your work areas. More than sixty slightly different plants to identify, tag and and drag around in the greenhouse that is too small, believe me that's a lot of work. That could have been cool as a side gameplay, but not as the main gameplay loop as it is the case here. The real problem here is that identifying the plants just feels like a formality because you're not really doing any intellectual work, except maybe for a couple tricky cases toward the end that try to send you astray with vague or purposely wrong descriptions. So there's never really a sense of reward, you just feel like you just accomplished a chore that will let the story progress mechanically until the next one. Some of the map puzzles can be slightly interesting but they're rare. The story is banal and gated behind plant identification, then delivered without a hint of dramatic flair by the ugly drawn NPCs. The music would be considered too gloomy for a funeral home.

植物学家模拟器，谢谢你圆了我的植物学家梦也破灭了我的植物学家梦，实在太枯燥了 没有收集癖/没有植物学家梦要圆的不建议玩，冲着解谜更不建议玩，玩法非常单一，解谜也是不能说没有意思但实在太单一了，玩了一个小时后看到新的谜题已经只剩“嗨又是你”的上班心情了 剧情既短小又简单其实只是套了个黑暗的壳子，既然内核只是这么简单的剧情，建议要么增加日常经营内容，把经营和收集植物与剧情解绑，让玩家在收集植物的同时自发地慢慢探索剧情；要么砍流程，这么短的剧情要打四个小时才能打全实在是太长了，玩到前面的时候就在想“不会是xxxx吧”但是安慰自己这也太简单了应该不会的，打了四个小时打到最后发现就是这样实在是没忍住冷笑一声然后哀悼我失去的四个小时

Great game!! I wish the desk portion was smaller so that the greenhouse could be seen bigger. Super fun and intresting!

What a delightful little game. Highly recommend it if you’re into plants, mysteries and puzzles, and/or getting to organise and label stuff.

It scratched that itch of wanting to play something cozy, slow and not demanding, while solving some puzzles and being a little bit nosy. I just wish someone told me to order the plants alphabethically from the beginning of the game, because it was pain to find anything when having full shelf of them.

Idealny poziom trudnosci, ktory nie frustruje, a pozwala wytezyc szare komorki. Katalogowanie roslin jest na swoj sposob odprezajace. Historia rowniez wciaga.

I loved this game and getting to pet the cat! I found it very cozy and relaxing especially on rainy days and the game has a spooky side that revolves around plants and murder 👻 It is a puzzle game so it can be hard to figure out at points but over all I loved it ☺️

This game was so fun! I really enjoyed solving the puzzles -- they were challenging and used a wide variety of puzzle solving techniques.
