Strange Horticulture

You run a small plant shop in the town of Undermere and solve puzzles by identifying herbs from clues, descriptions and a growing reference book. Customers, letters and strange objects pull you into an occult mystery, with a cat for company. It is a quiet, atmospheric detective game played from a fixed view. Is it your kind of game?
