Strange Antiquities is a welcome return to the moody town of Undermere. It is what you would like from a cozy game for Autumn – strange artefacts, quirky characters, a moody soundtrack, a cat you can pet, and of course, an overarching mystery to solve.

Strange Antiquities is an excellent mix of subtle dread and fascinating puzzles. The core loop will have you hooked, while the setting will keep you coming back! Able to be played in short bursts or in a few sittings, it is a great addition to any library.

Strange 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. Pros: Wonderfully eerie atmosphere, fun and creative puzzles, moreish gameplay formula Cons: The repetitive formula might not suit all tastes For fans of: Botany Manor, Strange Horticulture, Potion Craft 9/10: Exceptional Strange Antiquities is set to release on 17 September on Nintendo Switch (version tested via Nintendo Switch 2) and PC.

Strange Antiquities is a charming and cozy occult puzzle game that is surely a treat for budding detectives and puzzle-lovers. With its simple point-and-click gameplay that complements a variety of complex challenges and riddles that require extra brainpower, this puzzle game will surely take you on a spooky but intriguing text adventure through the town of Undermere and the secrets that lie within. Strange Antiquities Story - 8/10 The game’s overarching narrative is solid and somehow keeps you on the edge of your seat, but to me, it felt quite all over the place compared to the previous installment.
