Voioced by actors Arthur Darvill (Doctor Who, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) and Luci Fish (Safe House, Another Eden), The Magnificent Trufflepigs is a first-person, romantic, metal-detecting game, combining laid-back detecting and exploration with a strong narrative, all set in a beautiful English countryside.

It’s a game about trying to find something.

You play as Adam, a sharp-witted but compassionate man who returning to his childhood village of Stanning. There he'll help a woman named Beth on her mission to unearth a local treasure. As cracks begin to appear in Beth’s fairy tale plan for everything, you’ll delve into her history and discover all may not be as it seems. And you’ll have to choose how Adam responds to Beth as she faces her demons.

Gameplay combines laid-back metal detecting and exploration with a strong interpersonal narrative, all set in a beautiful English countryside. The Magnificent Trufflepigs is a game about trying to find something, and the tone it sets is like a typical English summer: mostly pleasant, but with stormy moments that threaten to ruin everything.

“AMC Games is continuing its goal of giving voice to unique creators," said Clayton Neuman, vice president of Games for AMC. “The Magnificent Trufflepigs is a dramatic narrative game with the maturity and nuance of critically-acclaimed shows seen across AMC Networks. I was blown away when I first read Andrew’s script, and I can't wait for players to experience it, fully realized by our talented cast, later this year.”

“Thunkd is extremely proud of The Magnificent Trufflepigs, but gems like this can only be unearthed with the help of like-minded partners that are prepared to dig a bit deeper to find something special,” said Andrew Crawshaw, the lead designer of Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture and founder of Thunkd. “Everyone at AMC Games and SundanceTV has helped to ensure that making our first game has been an experience that we'll treasure.”
