Undermere returns to consoles once more as Iceberg Interactive and Bad Viking have just launched Strange Antiquities on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, bringing its occult shopkeeping and slow-burn mystery to a new audience.

In Strange Antiquities, you take over a small occult shop in the eerie town of Undermere, handling a growing collection of strange (and often dangerous) artefacts. Each item has its own properties, and it’s up to you to identify them correctly using a range of tools, notes, and reference books.

Customers will come to you with all manner of requests. By listening carefully and interpreting their clues, you’ll need to decide which item fits their needs. Some choices are straightforward. Others less so.

Progress comes from paying attention, cross-referencing information, and learning how each artefact behaves. The more you uncover, the wider the mystery of Undermere begins to reveal itself.

Set in the same foreboding town as Strange Horticulture, the theme of this standalone sequel remains as quietly off-kilter as ever. Familiar faces, new problems, and a growing sense that something is shifting beneath the surface all tie into a slow-building mystery that unfolds one customer at a time.

Now adapted for console, the experience leans into its tactile nature, letting players take their time with every object, every clue, and every choice, whether they’re returning to Undermere or stepping into it for the first time.

Take a look at the trailer and then tell us what you think. Will you play Strange Antiquities on Xbox or PlayStation?
