Strange Horticulture is a pleasant game with a very special place in my heart. The player runs a plant store with magical flora that can cure ailments of every kind or otherwise have magical effects. The problem is that you’re not very good at your job and don’t know any of the plants’ names. All you have is a book of hints and incomplete illustrations to determine which is which. Customers come in with a vague idea of what they’re looking for, and it's your job to get them the plant they need. As one might imagine, very eccentric characters visit magical plant shops, so inevitably the player finds themselves navigating an occult mystery of the revival of an ancient evil. Gameplay consists of solving the puzzles given by the customers and piecing together the mystery at hand.
