🪴 Strange Horticulture – Days 4 & 5 Gameplay | Cozy Mystery Puzzle with My Wife 🌿
0Join us for a cozy, clue-filled session of Strange Horticulture, where my wife and I team up to run a mysterious plant shop in the eerie town of Undermere. Today, we dive into Days 4 and 5 of the game, solving customer requests using plants with strange and magical properties—some heal, some curse, and some reveal secrets best left buried.
We play Strange Horticulture on macOS using Crossover, a Windows emulation tool that lets us enjoy games not natively available on Mac. The game blends relaxing puzzle-solving with occult mystery, as players identify plants based on cryptic descriptions, visual clues, and lore from a beautifully illustrated reference book left behind in the shop.
