The game told me I was correct, and I literally raised both my hands over my head in celebration. When I'd finally narrowed all the potential cures down to one, I handed it to the worried wife. That was difficult-several mushrooms look quite similar-and I wasn't entirely sure my identification was correct, so I had to resort to eliminating all the other mushrooms in my collection, and their cures, which took long minutes of peering at fungi and flipping back and forth through my botany book. So I set to work examining my book's mushroom entries to first discover the name of the mushroom the dummy had eaten, and then work out which plant would cure him. I just happened to have found (by solving a completely unrelated multi-part puzzle) a list of five mushrooms, the symptoms caused by eating them, and the cures for each. I felt like a genuine Sherlock Holmes, even though I'd just been peering at mushrooms so I could cure a guy's stomach cramps.

A few days later the woman returned, saying her dumb husband had eaten the mushroom and was now sick. After examining the note and map I was able to figure out where he'd collected the 'shroom and I brought one back to my shop. One of my favorite moments was when a woman came into the shop and handed me a note from her husband, who'd found an unusual mushroom in the woods.

As you progress through the game you receive new tools that unlock different ways to discover even more hidden locations. The map puzzles aren't quite as challenging as identifying plants, but the puzzles are still creative and varied and the rewards-more plants for your shop!-make each discovery worthwhile. The map is the other half of Strange Horticulture's detective experience, where you decode clues to discover the location of new plants or events. Exploring the map is usually the result of receiving a letter from the mailman, or finding a lost note in a forgotten drawer in your desk, or getting cryptic messages each evening after you close your shop. Additionally all backers will get 4 bonus digital wallpapers.Along with helping customers in the shop, there's a large map to unfold on your desk, which you can click on to visit its locations.
