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.

moshno mne takyu raboty irl <3
Game is simple enough to not overwhelm you, yet interesting enough for you to keep playing. The main gameplay is solid... but man, there are so many chores! 1. You need to memorize a lot of stuff, and it's such a pain to go back to the book and refresh your memory, since there is no search function. 2. I want to explore more, but there is a timer + chore I need to do for this: why?? 3. I wish the game made the plants a bit more distinctive in their features. To make the game seem more complex, they have multiple plants that look similar, drawings that don't make much sense, and sometimes, you simply find yourself stuck because you didn't solve previous puzzles. The game expects you to play quite linearly, but the gameplay allows you to solve puzzles in your own pace. This conflict results in player fumbling about, wandering where things went wrong. Sometimes, it's the other way around. You are stuck in a puzzle, and you think you have to solve it with what you have now, but then you realize after using hint that you just haven't unlocked a new clue to solve that puzzle yet. This just bad game design :( Anyway, the game is still a solid 7; it wasn't that long of a game and I enjoyed the moments I played the game. (much more in the first half)

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
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.

i played this game years ago on my switch. i decided to redownload it for steam and am happy i did. although some parts can be a bit confusing without the wiki, it's still a very relaxing and enjoyable game.
喜欢画风,适合每天玩一两天,不然会很枯燥,最后一天让我直接确认十几盆植物也太地狱了啊啊啊
Интересно, вайбово, вкусно. Я люблю растения, цветочки и загадочность, поэтому мне понравилось быть травницей и подбирать растения для персонажиков. Сам сюжет тоже классный.
Such a lovely, cozy game. Highly recommend it if you’re into plants, mysteries and puzzles.
У меня основные претензии в интерфейсу. Просмотр растений в близи перекрывает кучу пространства. А полка с растениями это вообще ужас. Постоянно мотаешь туда-сюда а сделано это через наведение на край окна. Можно же было сделать через колесико мыши. Было бы так хорошо. Описания в книге иногда расплывчатые. И честно, я бы побил того лаборанта, который так пишет. Почему вы нарисовали сечение растения, а нам дать сделать разрез и посмотреть внутрь не дали. Это же нелогично. Или когда у грифов показа вид снизу, а мы даже покрутить горшок не модем. В общем играть было не удобно.
Very cute with fun little puzzles
So much fun. Feels like you're nestled in a dark academia mystery book. Puzzles are the perfect level of challenging where you feel rewarded for completing them, but you're not pulling your hair out while solving them. I love how much you can play around with the setup of your shop and having Helleborne hang with me.
This is a great little mystery/puzzle game. The dreary dark academia vibes are fantastic. You have free reign to organize your shop of plants however you like. It is a very short game. Very limited "replayability". I went through the storyline twice (and it was a bit tedious the second time), and then just reloaded old saves to change my choices rather than going through the entire storyline again. I've now hit all of the achievements after only 10 hours of gameplay, and at this point I don't think I'll pick it up again. But for a cheap game that's worthwhile. I think I hit all of the endings, but they don't all have achievements and I don't think there is a way to check in-game so I'm only 90% sure of that. I really like the storyline. At its surface, you're just trying to learn about the plants that you're growing/selling in the shop you inherited. The town and larger world around you is struggling through some paranormal happenings, and through the characters who visit the shop you learn more and more about what is going on. You have some limited choices to control how things play out. I really like the writing, especially the endings. There is definitely a deeper allegory about those who seek power over destruction vs those who hope to actually help the situation. And I think the text of the game strikes the right balance of not trying to forcefeed you a moral while also depicting natural consequences of the choices being made. Overall I strongly recommend this game. The plant identification gameplay was incredibly fun for me. The storyline was worthwhile. Short and sweet.
