Strange Antiquities v1.0.37a

Take the job of Apprentice Thaumaturge at Strange Antiquities and step into a quiet lakeside town that sits on the boundary between this world and the next. You’ll manage a candlelit curiosity shop full of occult objects while its proprietor handles matters elsewhere. Your work combines careful study with risky choices: identify and catalogue mysterious relics, consult hand-drawn reference tomes, and weigh whether to aid-or harm-those who come seeking help. Errors can have serious consequences, and the townsfolk never forget how you treat them.

Beyond the counter you’ll sometimes leave the safety of the shop to investigate rumors, retrieve artifacts, and follow paper maps to strange places. The building itself holds old secrets and puzzles waiting to be solved, and a creeping sickness and other dark forces threaten Undermere. You may be drawn into events that demand you take a stand to protect the town. The shop’s cat, Jupiter, also expects daily attention in exchange for companionship.

Strange Antiquities is created by two brothers from the UK who made Strange Horticulture. This is not a direct sequel, though familiar faces and touches from that world appear. The game blends quiet, atmospheric investigation with puzzle-solving, moral choices, and slow-building mystery, all presented with hand-drawn maps and a warm, uncanny tone.
