Independent developer Bad Viking and publisher Iceberg Interactive are excited to announce the upcoming release of Strange Antiquities, a dark and cozy adventure game set in the mysterious town of Undermere. Launching worldwide on Steam for PC on September 17, 2025, the game invites players to manage an occult antiquities shop, uncover hidden secrets, and solve eerie puzzles in a story-rich experience.
