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.

Reviews
i don't know why people are recommending this as a cosy game because the premise is a bit unsettling for that the game got quite repetitive after a while and I got tired in the middle of it. I know there are multiple endings but I just don't have the inclination to replay to see them all.
The puzzles are pretty intuitive and the plant shop has a nice cosy charm. Story is pretty whatever but lucky it's easy to tune out.

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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.

Love it! The shop is lovely and satisfies my need to organize. The mystery peeks my interest.
Fantastic experience - soothing visuals and music, interesting puzzles and pretty illustrations. Can't wait to play this dev's new release!
Очень душная и скучная игра. Головоломки бесят - ты ищешь долбаный цветок по описанию, просматривая мелкий цветочный ряд раз за разом... А потом тебе нужно найти уже известный цветок и ты пытаешься вспомнить где, блин, он. Можно же было как-то сделать нормальное масштабирование, а не эту (за) лупу... Карта - симулятор гляделок, всматриваешься и ищешь бурый мелкий текст на бурой бумаге, в надежде, что глаз зацепится. И как же бесит, что надо ждать её откат... На персонажей пофиг, атмосферой не проникся, я просто механически делал даваемые задания. Не, понятно, что творится какая-то оккультная хренамантия, но масштаба не чувствуется. Под конец задушнился геймплеем, использовал подсказки и прохождение. Потраченного времени жаль.
This was a very enjoyable experience. The puzzles were all very well done except for one I struggled (The Long Meg one), purely because nothing hinted towards the fact that this was solvable only by advancing in the story, as all previous puzzles didn't have that condition. Aside from this little annoyance, I definitely recommend the game if you're looking for a stroy driven puzzle game
Uma daquelas experiências que me prenderam por horas sem eu perceber o tempo passar. Os puzzles são extremamente divertidos de resolver e a mecânica de identificar plantas, cruzar pistas e explorar o mapa é muito satisfatória. A atmosfera é excelente e o jogo consegue manter a curiosidade acesa do começo ao fim. Minha maior crítica fica para o epílogo. Eu adoraria que ele aprofundasse mais a história, trazendo novos puzzles e mais oportunidades de explorar o mapa, em vez de focar quase exclusivamente em catalogar as plantas que ficaram faltando. Também achei que o jogo tem finais demais; na minha opinião, teria sido mais interessante concentrar os esforços em dois ou três finais mais desenvolvidos. Mesmo assim, é um jogo extremamente envolvente, criativo e muito divertido. Foi fácil ficar completamente imersa na experiência, e terminei a aventura com aquela sensação de que queria passar mais tempo naquele mundo.

Addictively fun and mysterious! I stayed up until 3am to finish it all in one go!
This is some of the best money I've spent on Steam. It's a cozy little puzzle game with a spooky plotline backing it. The experience is well-presented, atmospheric, and engrossing, with plenty of botanical eye candy to draw you along. I particularly liked the graphical touches like the cat getting startled when the bell rings, little details of plants showing up in the characters who come to your store, etc. The puzzle difficulty felt about right – nothing felt unfair, but the puzzles were challenging enough that solutions weren't always obvious, either. And the progression as your greenhouse and reference book grow out is satisfying without becoming overwhelming (and the game stops just as it would start to get overwhelming). Overall, a lot of shrewd and well-crafted design choices throughout that made this game a delight. If you watched the trailer videos and are at all interested, you will almost certainly like it, because it delivers on what those videos tease at. Recommended!
