Just the right mix of intriguing with low stimulation
I was looking for a game that didn’t have too much stress, but was also interesting plot wise so that it could keep my mind engaged. This game is the perfect mix of that. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something to destress with after a long day.
★★★★★positiveLittleRedScars · 2026-07-29 · v1.0.17
Fun
The game is fun to play, with lots of puzzles to solve. I haven't noticed any bugs, and there are no ads or extra things to buy.

PLEASE ADD APPLE PENCIL SUPPORT!!!
Bought this game on iPad specifically to play with my Apple Pencil but it is not supported.
★★★★★positiveWiiliEK05 · 2026-05-09 · v1.0.14
игра супер
я давно не был в восторге от игры. Несложная, успокаивающая головоломка при этом есть сюжет и ближе к концу твои действия уже решают к какой концовке ты идешь. В общем, супер! 5 баксов не жалко)

Beautiful Game, Cool Story
Such a cool game, I did not want to see it end. Please come up with a new storyline!

Fun!
Great way to pass the time! Highly recommend!

Whimsically Curious
This little game is a gem!! It has everything I need in a game; Depth, intrigue, enjoyment. It’s not so difficult that it becomes tedious or boring. You’re not rushed into making decisions or taking action. The graphics and artistry are absolutely stunning and the overall feel of the visuals is quaint and cozy.
If you do end up hitting a stumbling block, there are helpful walkthroughs online you can easily find, and you are given the option of starting over should you choose to do that. I’ve hit a snag a couple times(the plants can be a bit difficult to match up with the guide book) and restarted with ease. Overall, I am so very happy I found this game! It scratches the brain itch for me!

Great game-but quick
I loved this game. It is beautiful and intriguing yet cozy. My only complaint is that it is a quick storyline and game to “beat”. I finished it in three days.
★★★★★negativetwistedchic · 2026-01-19 · v1.0.14
LIKE THERE ARE NI INSTRUCTIONS OR GRAPHICS IR MUSIC OR NARRATIVE
I would really like to have something or a way to figure this out. It’s just a room with small flowers and some stuff to the side so I don’t really have the eyes for the tiny gadgets on the side. I have played many games like this but you have some direction. The layout is really bad. Sorry it seems interesting but looks like it’s dead as for as anything else.
★★★★★positiveYet_Another_Matt · 2025-11-29 · v1.0.14
Enjoyable game, subpar experience on iPad
I have nothing at all negative to say about the game itself, but the awkward inventory management on iPad and tendency of the game to reset itself to the Unity splash screen when switching windows even momentarily really interfere with the flow of gameplay.
★★★★★positiveQuatloo · 2025-11-17 · v1.0.14
Wonderful
Such a lovely, novel game. I never want it to end. The main mechanic is captivating, the puzzles along the way just the right kind of intriguing, and the plot line satisfying. I do so hope there will be more.
Pet the cat.
Update: I love the game so much I've played it again after giving myself enough time to forget all the clues. Please, please, please add a new story!
★★★★★positiveVefsrdt · 2025-11-16 · v1.0.17
Beyond soothing and very interesting
I’ve played three days and I love it. If you’re in the mood for cozy, dark academia vibes, not a lot of pressure but a whole lot of quiet thought set to beautiful instrumental music, this is for you.
★★★★★positiveNikki5411 · 2025-10-25 · v1.0.17
Great game!
I love this game a lot, very neat gameplay. It’s not too difficult and it’s not too easy to figure out clues.
★★★★★positivefishrule · 2025-10-10 · v1.0.17
Beautiful visuals, eerie story
Horticulture with sunless skies or series of unfortunate events vibes. Illustrations are beautiful and cozy. The app itself is responsive and intuitive. I'm enjoying the story and the deductive reasoning/strong use of observational skills. Good for both longer sessions and short bursts while commuting

Gab Smolders Sent Me
Just finished watching her play Strange Antiquities and had to see if Strange Horticulture was available for iPad. Thankfully, it was!

Strange bugs
I love the game, but a couple things… First, the orientation is locked. I had the charging cable on my left, and the game opened upside down. I was surprised it wouldn’t flip around. Second, I can’t use the Apple Pencil to play. Third, given the choice of scrolling the inventory or using buttons, why not both? I hope there will be an update to address these. Thanks.

Fun spooky witchy game
It took me a little time to get into it but it’s super fun and atmospheric.

Not compatible with Apple Pencil
I was super excited to play this game on the iPad but after downloading, realized this does not support Apple Pencil usage.
★★★★★positiveverilyhllw · 2025-08-20 · v1.0.14
genuinely best game ever played
This game has cool customers that come up for you to identify plants for which is fun and underneath all of the identifying is a huge dark plot line that wraps everything up so nicely. genuinely love this game

Fun horticulture puzzle game
It has some challenges that I had to think through and interesting characters. I like the plot and storylines too. I would like to see more from the creators of this one. I like the spookiness of the storyline, with the traveling to find rare plants. Love a cat in the window, and a librarian friend. I did think I would have to search a picture for plants but they are offered to you. Thank you for the no-ad game play for someone who wants to find clues, and solve mysteries.

Cannot be clicked with the Apple Pencil
This game cannot be clicked with the Apple Pencil on iPad, it can only be operated with the finger. It has been a year and there is still no improvement

One of the best
BUY THIS GAME. If you don’t, you are missing out.
A significant amount of thought, effort, and love clearly went into this game, and it shows in every aspect.
The puzzle design is rock-solid. I completed every puzzle and every solution made sense and felt like a clear result of the clues I was given.
The plant identification is varied and creative, and never feels formulaic — you never know exactly what clue will lead you to identification so identification remains interesting throughout the game.
The single thing I found myself disliking (and the only reason I’m not playing through a second time) was the lack of quick access to the full width of my plant window — simply keeping your identified and unidentified plants separate becomes slightly tedious when you have enough of both it takes more than a second or two to scroll to a new spot; some kind of “overall” view where you could see the whole window at once would help tremendously.
However, that’s the ONLY gripe I had after playing for like 5 hours over multiple sessions and identifying every single plant in the game. Even with that flaw, this game is still 5/5. Brilliantly executed and well worth the money. BUY IT.

Favorite game
Best game if your into the mysterious and supernatural genre of video games. I hope they can give it new chapters or even a second game with the same vibes.

Short Play Time for Cost
This was a very cozy puzzle game. Loved figuring out the plants and solving the puzzles, especially on the map. It was so short of a game, though. It feels like there should have been several more chapters or storylines.
