Alien Plants are pulsating flora common in the volcanic region seen in Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number's Hawaii levels. They are never verbally referenced in the game directly, but the game's files lists their sprites as Alien Plants. Their purpose is apparently to cast events as alien-influenced. Their color scheme is similar to the one seen in Showdown and on the Pills.

Trivia[]

  • Weirdflora

    "Weird flora" concept art.

    Dennis Wedin's Gamer Edition art book's section on strange Hawaiian flora says "we wanted the setting to have a outerworldly vibe, almost like a dream," and concept art shows palm trees with moving tentacles. Tonally, it cites Jacob's Ladder, Apocalypse Now, and Blood Meridian as inspirations.
