Magical Plant Puzzles Await
This enchanting plant-based puzzle game with magical elements is available for free through the Epic Games Store mobile app for one week - specifically from August 21st (today) until August 28th, 2025 at 8:30 PM.
Players assume the role of a Horticulturist who inherits a shop filled with bizarre plants and even stranger customers. While you'll sell herbs and potions, your decisions ultimately shape the fates of those who enter your establishment - whether through healing or sometimes darker consequences.
The game exudes cozy charm as you operate your little shop with rain pattering against the windows and your feline companion Hellebore keeping you company. Customers present various symptoms and problems for you to solve by identifying the perfect plant remedy.
The peaceful routine takes a dramatic turn when the murder of a local witch coven leader unravels into something far more sinister. Your choices - which plants you provide, remedies you create, and clues you follow - gradually draw you into an ancient occult mystery.
Meanwhile... A Sequel Approaches?
Developed by Bad Viking and published by Iceberg Interactive, Strange Horticulture might soon get company. The studio is preparing to launch its ambitious follow-up project, Strange Antiquities, next month.
The sequel will debut on PC first, with a mobile version expected to follow. In the meantime, don't miss your chance to experience the original through the Epic Games Mobile Store's free offering. Download the app and claim your copy today.
