Dateline: 9/10/2025

Strange Antiquities is coming to PC and Switch on September 17th.

From Iceberg Interactive:

Identify mysterious artifacts and uncover the chilling mystery affecting the town in Bad Viking's new cozy and dark detective game, Strange Antiquities. Are you prepared to take on your role as apprentice Thaumaturge?

Strange Antiquities will release on the 17th of September on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, and selected Digital Storefronts) with an SRP of $17.99 and a 10% launch discount, and on Nintendo Switch (Nintendo eShop), where it's available for preorder with a 10% discount.

Spooky season is approaching, and cozy gamers yearn to retreat to their warm blanket nests and hot drinks. No better way to get into the mood than by playing Strange Antiquities; explore Undermere and its catacombs and identify the arcane antiques that cross your counter, in a candle-lit shop filled with gentle purrs and secretive whispers.

Every day, you will welcome new customers into the cozy, candle-lit interior of the shop. Their needs are unpredictable and often alarming, but never dull!

· Study and Identify: Examine, identify, and catalogue strange artifacts. Observation, deduction, and careful reference to our collection of illustrated tomes will serve you well. Mistakes can be… costly.

· Help… Or Hinder: When dealing with powerful items, your choices matter. Will you help someone with their problem, or curse them with a horrid affliction? In a small town like this, people remember your misdeeds.

· Explore and Discover: From time to time, you will need to leave the safety of the shop. Whether investigating rumours or retrieving artefacts, our well-loved hand-drawn maps will guide you to where you need to go.

· Solve and Uncover: Your day-to-day might already feel like a puzzle, but this store holds many more. Few know how old this building is, and fewer still know what secrets lie within its walls.

· Tending the Familiar: And, of course, Jupiter, the shop’s cat, demands daily affection. In return for his company, please oblige him with the occasional scratch behind the ears.
