I can't wait to get murdered by flowers in this rad-looking survival horror game

Jessica Park, protagonist of the Florist, shoots a flower zombie with a pistol in a living room overgrown with creepers.

Flowers and survival horror might seem like a weird combination, but there's a surprisingly strong tradition of blending flora with scares in video games. The original Resident Evil had players fight a giant plant monster, and the whole premise of The Last of Us is basically "what if mushrooms were hostile?"

The Florist takes things to another level, however. The debut title from Unclear Games looks like something you might get if Jeff VanderMeer gave up the whole 'writing acclaimed novels' business and took a sudden and powerful interest in fixed-cameras and deliberately awkward combat. The debut title from Unclear Games puts plants at the front of centre of its survival horror experience, and the results look pretty darn interesting, at least going by its latest trailer.
