About
Find and identify new plants, pet your cat, speak to a coven, or join a cult. Use your growing collection to influence the story and unravel Undermere’s dark mysteries.
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 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!
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.

This game is great!
It's a simple and a bit limited game, but still fun and relaxing. It's tagged as mystery/detective, but I don't think that's a good fit. There are puzzles you have to solve, but little mystery and very little that I would call "detective work". If you enjoy cosy puzzle games, I'd absolutely recommend this.
The ambience, the cat, the plot the puzzles and the plants. Thoroughly enjoyed this game!
satisfying, not too difficult, interesting storyline (so far) i really am enjoying this game!
Fun-to-play puzzle game where reading comprehension really comes in handy. There were a couple points where I needed the hint button, but none of the puzzles were overly complicated.
Simplemente muy recomendable. Si te gusta el misterio y los rompecabezas debes probar este título.
Jeu d'énigmes et de botanique super cosy et intéressant. L'histoire est mystérieuse et a plusieurs fins, très bonne expérience de jeu !
A cozy dark mystery that provides bursts of satisfaction with each new plant you find and identify and a winding story entwined with exploration taking little excursions from your shop. Satisfying and entertaining, it has replay value.
Quite a interesting mystery game with a slight puzzle aspect to it, I enjoyed trying to solve the puzzles as well as naming the plants, which has taken some time, however the entire game is great and the story is perfect. The whole experience was fun, except getting most of the plant names wrong and redoing most of the nametags all of again, still it was good.
Its super fun. Love using my brain.
