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.

Cute game! I did beat the first story line in 9 hours. However, there are 3 endings so essentially 3 run throughs of the game. Got it during the Summer Sale so for a few bucks I really enjoyed it. Puzzle mystery game with lots of in depth plant facts. I did have to look up 2 of the clues during game play so its not too easy either.
Jeu d'énigmes et de botanique super cosy et intéressant. L'histoire est mystérieuse et a plusieurs fins, très bonne expérience de jeu !
雨音と落ち着くbgmの中で黒猫ちゃんをナデナデするゲーム エンド数が8とそこそこ多いが、2周目には調べたラベル等は引き継がれないので、1周目の自動セーブデータからロードして分岐に戻ることになる ヒントなしクリア実績含めた周回のために結局ゲーム外にメモ取って図鑑作った 物理メモ最強
increible
buenisimo. quiero mas
Gameplay tranquila, fiz o primeiro final em aprox. 7 horas jogando sem pressa nenhuma, então não é um jogo longo. Me perdi meio feio do dia 15 pro 16 mas nada demais. Gostosinho e intreessante, dá pra aprender todas as plantas que faltaram no dia 17 quando o jogo acaba.
Jeu très intéressant et reposant avec un déroulement vraiment sympa en utilisant des mécaniques de puzzle simples mais efficaces :) J'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir !
I love this game! This was the perfect game for me to lay in bed with the steam deck and just relax. The game itself is very interesting. The game itself is VERY straightforward but in my opinion, it does take a little while to get used the actual gameplay and how the game works. There are many scenarios where some actions affect other and the outcome of the game. It took me a little while to get used to it and passed it. However, I did do a second playthrough to do all the things I didn't do right the first time and 100% the game. Because the game has different endings, it makes the game itself a lot more fun the second time through. I did have to look a couple of things up on the wiki regarding the achievements because I didn't think they were very intuitive and I couldn't figure out what they were asking for in the game. All in all, the game is great and a lot of fun! This is a cozy, slow paced game that requires the player to use your head, your common sense, and do a lot of reading. I enjoyed this and will be checking out other games by this developer.
Its super fun. Love using my brain.
Super fun game that really makes you think. Some of the puzzles made me feel like a complete moron sometimes but I liked the varying difficulties. Will definitely be playing again for the alternate endings. Super satisfying, great story, and beautiful artwork. Can definitely see myself coming back to this game again and again!
