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!
