Release Date: September 17, 2025
A combination of an adventure and a logic game, serving as an indirect sequel to Strange Horticulture. Strange Antiquities is about running a shop with occult antique items. We can help the residents of the Undermere town, troubled with various supernatural problems. Our character must also take care of the cat.
In 2022, the independent studio Bad Viking, founded by two brothers, delivered the project Strange Horticulture. It was an adventure-logic game that allowed us to run a plant shop and also discover the grim secrets of the fictional Victorian town of Undermere. Three years later, this production was followed by a direct sequel titled Strange Antiquities.
In Strange Antiquities we return to the fictional Victorian town of Undermere, located on the border of the human world and the one beyond it. This time we take on the role of a freshly baked employee of a shop with occult antiques. The owner went on a journey to find a way to deal with the dark forces plaguing the city, and our task is to properly take care of his business.
We deal with various occult items during the game. We need to examine, identify and catalog individual antiques based on the information contained in the illustrated books available in the store. This is important because over the next few days we are visited by people struggling with various problems, and correctly identifying them and finding an effective remedy for each of them makes us a good worker.
The game allows us to mock the situation, or even deliberately condemn clients to further torment, but we must be vigilant, as making mistakes can cost us dearly. It can also affect the course of the story and the fate of the inhabitants of Undermere.
This is not the end, as the shop owner also left us hand-drawn maps, which we can use during the search for new artifacts or investigation of rumors. We can explore the mysteries of the object itself. Amidst all this, one should not forget about the cat Jupiter, who demands daily attention, especially scratching behind the ears.

Game Ratings for Strange Antiquities Video Game.
Screen Hype: 9 / 10 by Lyssa Greywood
Running Strange Antiquities feels like a mix of puzzle-solving, catalogue work, and moral choice. Each day is a self-contained session that takes about twenty to thirty minutes, which makes it perfect for short bursts of play. You spend your time identifying artefacts, cross-referencing your tomes, and deciding which object might help (or hinder) the townsfolk. ... Strange Antiquities is a masterclass in atmosphere. The game captures that balance of dark and cosy that makes Undermere such a compelling place to return to day after day. The rain at the window, the candlelight across your shelves, and Juniper’s quiet presence all weave together into something that feels both homely and haunted.

Story-driven occult puzzle game with a set of peculiar items to sort
Nindie Spotlight: 8 / 10 by Justin Nation
Absolutely a very different sort of puzzler, where you’ll need to run with clues to what your customers seek and try to match them to some creepy relics
