Strange Horticulture
An occult puzzle game in which you play the owner of a plant shop, identifying mysterious plants to satisfy customers.
Rain on the window, a candle burning low, a mug going cold beside you — and on the screen, a friendly ghost who just wants help finishing their story. That is the spooky cozy game: all the warmth and low-stress calm of a normal cozy game, wrapped in autumn fog, jack-o'-lanterns, and a pleasant little shiver. These sixteen are ranked by our cozy score, and not one of them is real horror — no jump scares, no gore, nothing to keep you up at night. Just spooky-cute (befriend the ghost bears of Cozy Grove, bake in a haunted kitchen) and cozy-with-a-little-dread (tend an occult plant shop, run a cheerfully morbid graveyard). Perfect for October — or any night you want your comfort game to flicker a little.
