Sep 15, 2025Strange Antiquities is a game I’ll look back on as one of my firm unexpected highlights of 2025. Its intoxicating formula is incredibly moreish and as the cool, autumn nights draw in, there’s no place I’d rather be than assisting the residents of Undermere with their strange and unsettling conundrums.

Oct 2, 2025The best thing about Strange Antiquities is the gloomy atmosphere created by the color scheme and theme. A close second are the imaginative puzzles. The biggest flaw is the console version's controls, but that doesn't ruin the gaming experience.

Sep 23, 2025Strange Antiquities is a charming and enrapturing mystery solving game based on strange and unusual objects of the occult. In the role of the apprentice of an antiquities shop owner - or rather, the apprentice of a thaumaturge - players are going to navigate through descriptions and hints about what specific antiquity the clients are looking for, as well as carry out some detective work outside the shop to find more of these unusual items, all while the entire town seems to be taken over by distressing phenomena. Simple but with plenty of new things to find out, including nine different endings, Strange Antiquities is a charm to fans of mystery-solving games with a touch of horror.

Sep 15, 2025In Strange Antiquities, Bad Viking expands the rich world of Strange Horticulture – this time in an antique shop specialising in the occult. The puzzles are cryptic but rarely skull-cracking, forming an addictive gameplay loop: who knew hunting down magic antiques to solve customers’ conundrums could be so satisfying? The whole thing is cloaked in a gripping mystery narrative, which you can influence with the right (or wrong) occult oddity. And with the possibility of multiple endings, replay value is high – at least for those of you who want to see just how much strangeness is in store.
