Strange Horticulture launched worldwide on mobile in March last year, priced at $4.99. If that price held you back, here’s a temporary chance to play for free. This week, Strange Horticulture is the free offering on the Epic Games Store mobile app.

How long can you play Strange Horticulture for free on the Epic Games Mobile Store?

Strange Horticulture is a magical, plant-themed puzzle game. It’s available to play at no cost on the Epic Games Store mobile app for one week, as is standard. The free period runs from August 21st (today) through August 28th, 2025, at 8:30 PM.

You step into the role of a horticulturist, inheriting a shop brimming with unusual plants and even stranger customers. You sell herbs and potions, but your real power lies in shaping the lives of those who cross your threshold—sometimes healing, sometimes harming.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting. You sit inside your cozy shop as rain gently taps against the windows and your cat, Hellebore, dozes nearby. Customers come with symptoms or troubles, and it’s your job to find the right plant to match their needs.

But soon, the murder of a local witch coven’s leader unravels into something far greater. Every decision you make draws you deeper into a centuries-old occult mystery. The plant you offer, the cure you prepare, the clue you pursue—each choice matters.

Meanwhile… A sequel?

Strange Horticulture is developed by Bad Viking and published by Iceberg Interactive. Bad Viking is also preparing another ambitious project this month: the sequel, Strange Antiquities, set to release next month.

The game will debut first on PC, with a mobile version following shortly after. For now, take advantage of the free week for Strange Horticulture on the Epic Games Mobile Store. Visit the app to get started.
