by Rainier on May 23, 2024 @ 6:00 a.m. PDT

Strange Antiquities is a brand-new occult puzzle game, set in the quaint and gloomy town of Undermere, where you’ll become the owner of a store dealing in curious antiquities.

Use your maps to explore the town, find and identify arcane artefacts, and use your collection to aid the townsfolk with their unusual problems. And please—remember to pet your cat!

Taking place several years after the events of Strange Horticulture, Strange Antiquities is a new, dark and cosy standalone adventure set in the world of Undermere. It is a place of ancient woodland, candle-lit libraries, and macabre folklore, where strange things happen as often as it rains.

As the Thaumaturge’s apprentice, you’ll be tasked with running a shop dealing in mysterious antiques, but when hundreds of ravens start circling over the town of Undermere, those in the know become concerned. Occult Scholar Verona Green plans to visit Strange Antiquities to inquire about this unnatural turn of events, however, before she can meet with you, things take a sinister turn…


Since the release of Strange Horticulture in 2022, fans have been itching to delve further into the mysterious town of Undermere, and the myriad of enigmatic characters that populate it. Well, the wait is over! Having struggled to keep this under wraps, we can unveil a new store, a new occult mystery to unravel, and, of course, a new cat… Welcome to - Strange Antiquities!
