Finished Strange Antiquities by @badvikinggames.bsky.social yesterday & just like it's predecessor I give it a heavy recommendation if you enjoy being a different sort of detective. (Or go go play Strange Horticulture first if you have not yet!)

We seem to be in a bit of a golden era of puzzle games at the moment. I can strongly recommend STRANGE ANTIQUITIES and its predecessor STRANGE HORTICULTURE which combine cozy shopkeeping with detective work.

If you’ve enjoyed an indie game please consider leaving a review on Steam. It does massively help and the devs and community teams love to read them. Especially around launch when everyone is knackered, a lovely review is such an energy boost.

You should definitely buy these, if you haven't already. Such a unique and refreshing series that sucks you in and makes hours fly by. Truly magical and deliciously creepy for Halloween. 🎃
