Strange Horticulture x Potion Craft: The Herbalists Bundle is now live!

[h3]Dear Horticulturists,[/h3]

We’ve collaborated with the folks over at TinyBuild and we’re excited to announce that the Herbalists Bundle is now available!

Bundling up with Potion Craft just made sense to us. In both games, you run a shop helping locals with their supernatural needs.

Potion Craft is an alchemist simulation game where you engage hands-on with tools and ingredients to create potions to help the population of your small town. You manage every aspect of the shop from inventing unique recipes to drawing in customers!

The potions you brew pair perfectly with the dark mysteries you’ll encounter in Strange Horticulture, our 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.

We're Running An Art Contest!

[h3]Dear Horticulturists,[/h3]

As some of you might know, we’ve been hard at work on Strange Antiquities, the follow-up to Strange Horticulture! For this edition of the Undermere Herald, our monthly dev blog, we’ve come up with an exciting community activity to celebrate the upcoming release of the game!

While we’re incredibly excited to have you all explore the dusty shelves in the near future, the outside of Undermere’s antique shop remains shrouded in mystery. We want to know what you think it’d look like!

[h3]The Contest:[/h3]
Using any medium — be it watercolor, wood carving, fabric, or something entirely unexpected — we invite you to design the storefront of Strange Antiquities. What do you imagine its facade would reveal about the secrets it keeps inside?

Send us your artistic creation at [email protected] by November 15th. The winner will be announced at the end of November and, naturally, they’ll be rewarded with a secret, exclusive prize.

We’re excited to see what you come up with!

Rob & John

The Undermere Herald: Our Monthly Developer Log

[h3]Dear Horticulturists,[/h3]

It’s now been 2 months since we’ve both introduced you to Jupiter and a wonderful store called ‘Strange Antiquities’.

As we are now fully immersed in the development process of the follow-up to Strange Horticulture, we’re eager to announce that we’ll be releasing a monthly newsletter for you - the “Undermere Herald” - over on the Strange Antiquities store page.

Every month, we’ll be delving into our inspirations, the development process behind Strange Antiquities, interesting bits of lore and much, much more. The Herald is the perfect place to stay up-to-date and learn more about all things Strange. If you’re keen to tag along on this journey, make sure to follow the game and be among the first to know!

The first edition, delving into the Thaumaturge Eli White and our trip to the Pitt Rivers Museum, is already live. You can read it by clicking on the newspaper below!

See you there!

Many thanks,
Rob and John

Meet Jupiter!

[h3]Dear Horticulturists,
[/h3]

Over the past few days, we gave you a little mystery to solve on the Strange Antiquities Store page to help you guess the name of Strange Antiquities’ store cat.

Reading everybody’s guesses was a delight! Some of you got very close; others less so. (Unfortunately, the cat’s name will not be Jon Bon Jovi).

But without further ado, let’s get to the most important part of this blog…
