Iceberg Interactive and Bad Viking have just launched <em>Strange Antiquities</em> on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 4 &amp; 5, bringing its occult shopkeeping and slow-burn mystery to a new audience.</p><div id=\"video-57507015-d4a3-4220-b3ab-c86bd6f187ab\" class=\"release-content-video release-content-video--embed release-content-video--contained\">\n    <div><div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe data-iframely-url=\"https://cdn.iframe.ly/api/iframe?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FtPONtjJ-c5k%23_cb1777550460&key=8fe6cdec03482ac31f27a6ae8ea2fb3f\" data-img style=\"top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;\" allowfullscreen scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"accelerometer *; clipboard-write *; encrypted-media *; gyroscope *; picture-in-picture *; web-share *;\"></iframe></div></div><script async src=\"https://cdn.iframe.ly/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"></script>\n</div><p>In <em>Strange Antiquities</em>, 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&rsquo;s up to you to identify them correctly using a range of tools, notes, and reference books.</p><p>Customers will come to you with all manner of requests. By listening carefully and interpreting their clues, you&rsquo;ll need to decide which item fits their needs. Some choices are straightforward. Others less so&hellip;</p><p>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.</p><p>Set in the same foreboding town as <em>Strange Horticulture</em>, 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.</p><p>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&rsquo;re returning to Undermere or stepping into it for the first time.</p><p><em>Strange Antiquities</em> is available now on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 4 &amp; 5!</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>-ENDS-</strong></p><p><strong>Press Contact</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left\">PR contact: Ben Kobs - <a href=\"mailto:PR@iceberg-games.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PR@iceberg-games.com</a></p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Iceberg Interactive Discord: <a href=\"https://discord.gg/iceberginteractive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https://discord.gg/iceberginteractive</a></p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Publisher&#039;s Website: <a href=\"https://www.iceberg-games.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https://www.iceberg-games.com</a></p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Developer&#039;s Website: <a href=\"https://www.badviking.com/%C2%A0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https://www.badviking.com/</a> ;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Related Links</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Press Kit: Google Drive</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Steam: <a href=\"https://store.steampowered.com/app/2885870/Strange_Antiquities/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https://store.steampowered.com/app/2885870/Strange_Antiquities/</a></p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Nintendo: <a href=\"https://www.nintendo.com/nl-nl/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Strange-Antiquities-2888529.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https://www.nintendo.com/nl-nl/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Strange-Antiquities-2888529.html</a></p><p style=\"text-align: left\">PlayStation: <a href=\"https://store.playstation.com/nl-nl/product/EP3652-PPSA34178_00-0353057207296852\">https://store.playstation.com/nl-nl/product/EP3652-PPSA34178_00-0353057207296852</a></p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Xbox: <a href=\"https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/strange-antiquities/9nsk0002sq2n\">https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/strange-antiquities/9nsk0002sq2n</a></p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>Socials</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Twitter/X: <a href=\"https://x.com/BadVikingGames/status/15936341331833\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https://x.com/BadVikingGames</a>/</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Bluesky: <a href=\"https://bsky.app/profile/badvikinggames.bsky.socia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https://bsky.app/profile/badvikinggames.bsky.socia</a>\u200bl</p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Instagram: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/badvikinggames/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https://www.instagram.com/badvikinggames/</a></p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Strange Horticulture &amp; Strange Antiquities Discord: <a href=\"https://discord.gg/iceberginteractive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https://discord.gg/iceberginteractive</a> \u200b </p><p style=\"text-align: left\">&nbsp;</p><p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>ABOUT BAD VIKING</strong></p><p style=\"text-align: left\">Bad Viking is the indie game development studio of UK-based brothers Rob and John Donkin.
