Localization + Zooming + Halloween Update! 🎃

Dear Horticulturists,

'Tis the spooky season where the leaves are falling from the trees and pumpkin-spiced lattes are served in the cafés of Undermere. In this update, your little shop of horrors has been kitted out with some spooky accoutrements to get you in the Halloween vibe. We've also added Polish, Portuguese, Czech, and Turkish localization!

For a limited time, you'll see a new loading screen and some cute pumpkins to fiddle around with. How will you use them to spruce up the shoppe? Color code with orange plants? Strewn about the shelves randomly?

With Halloween come black cats, so we've added one to the shop! Its name is Hellebo-- oh, right... Hellebore was always there. Still, give 'em some extra scritches around Halloween.

Additionally, we've added a new zoom feature with this update. While playing, simply press and hold the SHIFT key to instantly take out your trusty magnifying glass and zoom in on whatever you're looking at. This will make it easier to quickly read small texts.

It's not just pumpkins and black kitties — we've also added four new languages to Strange Horticulture! Polish, Portuguese, Czech, and Turkish localization are all available now, with Dutch localization also coming soon™. Achievements have been localized as well, so you can properly tell what achievement you've unlocked.

Have a wonderful spooky season, and enjoy the update 🎃

How Strange Horticulture's devs went from Flash to one of the best games of the year

Strange Horticulture sets you up to think it's another cozy game about running a shop—a puzzle game where you flick through your book of plants, examine the fungus and ferns and find the right medicinal herb or decorative flower for each customer. Slowly, as it goes on, Strange Horticulture trowels a layer of creeping dread over this wholesome setup. A narrative grows out of it, a story of mystery and ritual murder that plays out through the customers, no less strange than the horticulture, who keep returning to your shop...

Japanese Localization Is Here! And...

Dear Horticulturists,

Scouring the lands beyond Undermere, we've found a new language to add to Strange Horticulture's repertoire; Japanese!

Those of you from the land of the rising sun can now enjoy Strange Horticulture in all its glory in your native tongue. And hey, plants need sunlight to grow, so it's a perfect fit! As with every language, you can switch to Japanese in the options menu of the game.

This update should also fix the issue where language settings would not be saved between sessions.

Speaking of Japan... Nintendo!

We're very excited to announce that Strange Horticulture is now available on the Nintendo Switch! Check out the live-action trailer below, and find the game in your local Switch eShop!
