I feel like I say this a lot, but I love a horror game that can do something different. It was late last year that I first saw Unclear Games’ upcoming release, The Florist, though I don’t believe this one will be as dreamy and cozy as the Olivia Dean song. Of course, what first caught my eye was the art style, setting The Florist in “a town overgrown with deadly yet beautiful flowers,” offering bright and interesting colors in a genre often dominated by darkness and shadow. Announced on Thursday, the developer revealed a new trailer and upcoming console releases.

Here is what the press release notes: “Unclear Games is proud to share the latest details for its upcoming survival horror game[,] The Florist. The world premiere of the ‘Gardens of Death’ trailer is available now, showcasing new enemies, weapons[,] and levels. The Florist is officially confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, with final release information coming later in 2026.

The Florist tells the story of Jessica Park, who arrives in the lakeside town of Joycliffe to make a last-minute delivery. Her timing sparks disaster as the town quickly descends into a deadly fight for survival against omnipresent floral overgrowth. Solve ingenious puzzles, defeat horrifying enemies, and uncover a mysterious plan to create new life in the most inhuman way imaginable.”

The short trailer doesn’t offer a great abundance of detail, but it does offer a quick, short look at the overall presentation and look of The Florist. The Press release notes of the trailer, “In the ‘Gardens of Death’ gameplay trailer, several secrets are hidden within the overgrowth. Jessica is seen fighting in close quarters with enemies known as Seeds, who are tragic victims of a deadly floral affliction. No longer alive, their bodies are controlled by organic growth[,] which [instinctively] move to attack and draw nutrients from living organisms.

Jessica can escape or deal enough physical damage using the Catclaw Revolver or Rosetta Shotgun. But firearms can only go so far against the enemies she has yet to encounter, and there are further hints in the trailer of unique weapons to cause rapid destruction of the deadliest flowers.”

To close out the press release, it notes of the main antagonist (I think): “A hulking presence found in Joycliffe, The Harvester carries a bloodstained sack filled with unspeakable horrors, and is laser-focused on finding something years in the making. Jessica must stay one step ahead, unravel the mystery behind the outbreak, and put a stop to his mission in the garden of death. Unfortunately, The Harvester is far from the most dangerous enemy in The Florist.“

As I said above, there is something unique about The Florist that instantly caught my interest, and I can say that it has certainly gone on our wishlists here at Phenixx Gaming. At the time of writing, and as noted in the press release, there is no release date just yet, either for PC or console. The Florist is expected to be released sometime later this year on PC via Steam, as well as PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.
