Kaufempfehlung für entspanntes Rätseln

Sehr entspanntes Mystery-Rätsel mit interessanten Charakteren und einer kurzen, aber spannenden Story. Kein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, man bekommt ausreichend Tipps, also nicht allzu schwer. Nichts für Spieler, die auf schwere Rätsel stehen. Entscheidungen im Spiel beeinflussen das Ende - bist du das Gute oder das Böse? Der erste Durchlauf dauert ca. 5h, aber wegen der variierenden Enden kann man es durchaus mehrmals spielen.

Cozy game with good artstyle and story

Strange Horticulture plays like a puzzle game combined with visual novel. You play as a shop owner who inherited a plant shop from her late uncle. There's a guide book, but the it's not obvious. Like rarely there's a full picture of the plant, only parts like leaves or flowers, as well as how it feels or smells. With these clues, your objective is to identify which plants a customer needs. Some of them are affiliated with cults, which you can help or hinder. And a map allows you to travel to surrounding areas, taking home new plants or more pages for the book. As expected, you will see a lot of beautiful plants here. Other than the usual medicine or poison, some of these have strange functions. Like there's a lockpick plant, one that snares people, and one that allows you to read hidden text. There are choice elements when giving a plant, like sometimes you can choose between several plants with different results. And there are multiple endings, if you want to get as many paths as possible it's recommended to follow a guide, since you can be locked out. You can turn on auto-labelling so that a correctly identified plant will be given a tag. But there's a small issue, you cannot add the plant's picture to the book. So if you correctly identify a plant one day and someone asks for it on another day, you'll have to reread the clue and comb through your plants to find the correct one again. It would be better if identified plants have their image drawn on the book, besides making it easier it's also what a normal person would do rather than finding it again. If you're looking for games to chill without being overly difficult, Strange Horticulture is a title that you should try, especially if you like puzzles and mystery. It has a lovely artstyle and atmosphere, plus you can pet Hellebore the cat as many times as you like!

Nice little time sink

I bought it on sale, -60% - didn't think too much about it on GOG. Was done in a few hours over two days. The gameplay was nice, and all the other "most helpful" reviewers said can be confirmed: - the puzzles are not too hard - sometimes, finding the correct plant/mushroom is a piece of work (if you don't remember the descriptions) - naming your plants is a chore - placing them as well - I forgot about the watering can pretty fast - story is okay - multiple endings in this game? That's why I removed one star. I won't play this ever again, I assume. But as said before: nice little game if you don*t want to bury yourself too deep into something.

Good but short/simple

It was a fun game with an interesting story, but the puzzles were, for me at least, fairly easy and straightforward (that said I'm a puzzle gamer, so perhaps I'm more familiar with the kinds of logic and deductions needed than the average gamer). A good time-kill, and definitely nice to "play with plants" at the end of a cold winter when I'm craving some green to enjoy. Would recommend.

Lovely

This game is a small gem. Gameplay is intuitive, the background story is rich and the atmosphere is very calming. The puzzles are somewhat repetitive (identify plants and locations on the map) but nevertheless entertaining and solving them is very satisfying. It is the perfect game for a rainy weekend day.
