A jeweller’s kind of game. You sit alone, hunched over your table, magnifying glass in hand, Parva Naturalia and Corpus Hermeticum beside you, and try to shed a dim, flickering light on the grim dark world around you, bring a little order to the ever-disturbing chaos of existence, one little strange artifact at a time.

Super fun, I'm really enjoying it. Most hints are appropriate in terms of difficulty, only a few have been problematic. I give it a 9.5/10. If you loved the first game, or story-driven games in general, I recommend giving it a try. The demo is an accurate representation of the gameplay. I'm deducting .5 points because of two things: - The aforementioned occasional hint that is just not adequate or is easy to interpret incorrectly (like one of the map hints really should say north, not northwest). - In circumstances where the next thing you need to do involves finding some secret within the shop, the game's hint system gives you a generic "you haven't fully explored the shop yet" type message, and then doesn't give you anything else. Good luck clicking everywhere and waving potentially-activating items around until you give up and google it. I think the generic hint is fine if the player hasn't viewed a hint for it yet, but if they have, the next hint should give *something* more helpful, at least the general area of the shop or the mechanism for the missing thing. Those are really minor gripes, but they did negatively impact my experience a bit.

After playing and loving Strange Horticulture I knew I had to get this one on day one! In fact I was so excited, that for 2 hours this afternoon I checked Steam every 5 minutes to see if it was finally out. Only 1 1/2 hours in and I can already tell it will be one of my new favourites. I love the dark yet cozy atmosphere the devs managed to capture. It's perfect for cuddling up with a blanket and big mug of hot chocolate (which is exactly what I did when I started the game for the first time today). The riddles are a bit more challenging than in Strange Horticulture, but I personally enjoy that a lot. There is a lot of mythology embedded into this game which makes it incredibly engaging. I can't wait to figure out every ending and find out how the story will unfold. I also enjoy how the UI improved compared to Strange Horticulture. Exploring your tiny Antiquities store is so much more fun now. I can't wait to absolutely most certainly 10000% not touch anything at all while Eli is gone 🤫 Thank you to the devs for the work you put into this game. You can really feel all the love, thought and hard work that was put into this game. Also there is Jupiter. Need I say more?? Edit after finishing my first playthrough: 10/10 as expected

I have been eagerly awaiting this game and I can truthfully say... IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! If they make a hundred more, I will play them all. Strange Literature, Strange Beasts, gimme all of them! If you loved Strange Horticulture then you'll love Strange Antiquities. It plays so similarly but they've added elements to make it feel fresh without changing its identity. The atmosphere is cozy and calming. The sound of the rain and Jupiter purring is enough to put anyone in the mood to solve a mystery in the ominous, gloomy town. The characters are interesting, the oddities are fascinating and the story keeps me hooked. Oh and the music! The music is scrumptious. I can't sing its praises enough. Just buy this game already! PS. You better pet the cat. Always. Hellebore will know if you neglect his friend.

Clues! Labelling things! Arranging them on shelves! Maps! If you like deductive games where you work things out by consulting multiple sources of information, you will quite probably like this. If you liked the first game, you will definitely like this. I haven't even finished this one yet and am pining for more of these games. Maybe next time we will get Strange Aviary? Strange Entomology? Strange Fishery? Give me more cool looking things to label, it soothes my soul!
