The Magnificent Trufflepigs v04.06.2021

The Magnificent Trufflepigs is a first-person, narrative-driven game that combines the relaxing activity of metal detecting with a compelling story set in the picturesque English countryside. You step into the shoes of Adam, a witty yet empathetic character who returns to his childhood village of Stanning to assist Beth, a woman on a quest to find a local treasure. As the story unfolds, you begin to see the cracks in Beth's seemingly perfect plan, leading to deeper revelations about her past and present.

The gameplay is a blend of exploration and storytelling, where you leisurely search for "treasures" (often just rubbish) with your metal detector, dig them up, and share your finds with Beth. The game also focuses on building a relationship with Beth through conversations via walkie-talkie and instant messages, allowing you to uncover her hopes, fears, and the truth behind her quest.

Featuring the voice talents of Arthur Darvill and Luci Fish, The Magnificent Trufflepigs offers a narrative experience that is both charming and introspective. The game captures the essence of an English summer—mostly pleasant with moments of tension that threaten to disrupt the peace. As you guide Adam through this journey, your choices will shape the outcome of Beth's story and the bond you share with her.
