Metacritic
Strange Horticulture is an occult puzzle game in which you play as the proprietor of a local plant store. Find and identify new plants, pet your cat, speak to a coven, or join a cult. Use your collection of powerful plants to influence the story and unravel Undermere’s dark mysteries.
Strange Horticulture features a flawless native Mac port that runs perfectly on all Apple Silicon chips with minimal battery drain.
What the world thinks
- Cloud Gaming: If you are on a very old Intel Mac that cannot run the native port, it is available on GeForce NOW, though a local installation is always preferred for this title.
