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.

Fun game but short. Would not buy unless you can get it on sale.
My sister and I have this on switch, her account, and mine. We have played it so much that we can not only play this game from memory now but also enjoy teaching our friends about this game and their friends and anyone who comes over to visit. It made me fall in love with puzzle games like this and is one of my biggest comforts if I'm feeling down, sick, or just not myself. I even have cats named after the ones from this game that is how wonderful it is!

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
Every market we collect.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

7/10,神秘学小游戏,玩完会发现自己浪费时间。 -推理/谜题。地图上找东西有点意思。但是找花就很无聊。 -剧情。比较碎片化,也没啥意思。听着音乐昏昏欲睡。 -还有续作要通关。
Хорошая, медитативная игра, есть простые задачки, а есть довольно сложные
还是蛮好玩的。但是中途有一个谜题就是吃了蘑菇那个,无论如何也不知道为什么要用皇家龙胆,是中文翻译有问题吗,好像找到的蘑菇并没有说要皇家龙胆才能解毒啊?
You will enjoy this game if you like a slow-paced story with lots of puzzles and sleuthing. The music can be repetitive since it's mainly one of the same track; but it's nice to hear the rain pitter-patter on the windows when it rains in-game. The story takes a dark turn quite fast and as the game nears its end you'll decide the fate of the people depending on your choices throughout the game. The story is presented in bite-sized pieces as different guests visit your shop, some turn into regulars, some not. My favorite parts of the game: Traversing the map with the aid of clues and tools Correctly identifying all the different flowers Getting to know various characters with different motives and backgrounds The cat obviously Less enjoyed parts of the game: Sometimes tedious to find the right flowers while flipping through the book Sometimes tedious having books, clues and other tools up at the same time. It could feel cluttered. Sometimes hard to see or read things, magnifying glass helped though. A few puzzles were frustrating and not quite challenging in the way a puzzle would be (this is subjective of course; my main gripe was with the table puzzle.) A few notes: I feel like the brewing kit was kind of underused, it was mainly used once each time a new elixir recipe was found. A lot of the flowers you identified were only used once for visitors, or sometimes not at all. It could feel a bit pointless to identify every flower if they were only left to collect dust afterwards. I would have liked a bit more use out of this specific part of the game. Overall I enjoyed my time with the game and definitely would like to play a similar game with the same setup, just more fleshed out with additional features and puzzles. Considering my nitpicking, I would still recommend it to anyone that enjoys a story-driven puzzle game with a dark atmosphere. A nice game to wind down and relax to.
good game
Good game overall. Some of the puzzles were a little too difficult and or not enough instructions on how to figure it out, at least for me. I had to google one and even one of the comments I saw said that even the developer had to make a post about it. But still a good story and it definitely made my brain work for some of those puzzles.
As someone who really enjoys putting labels on stuff this game was so much fun! I will say it does get tedious with finding out the plants and some of the puzzles were tricky. But overall the story was easy to follow even if you put the game down for a few days. I also really liked the design of some of the plants as I could tell the artist made sure no plant looked the same unless it had a reason to!
