    Just finished Strange Antiquities. Fantastic game, just what I wanted after Strange Horticulture. Fricken TOUGH puzzles though!

    I damn near exploded. I loved Strange Horticulture. (Review here: youtu.be/HVmi6nH3XIY?...) I don’t often try to get codes but for Strange Antiquities I would offer my right arm.

    I need some cozy, fun, easy game recommendations to play on my Switch 1 while I recover and have the mental faculties of a turnip! My favorites in this genre are Strange Horticulture/Strange Antiquities, Cult of the Lamb, Cozy Grove, Stardew Valley, Spiritfarer, and Rune Factory 4.

    I'm playing Strange Antiquities and have to ask: how do only 42% of players have the achievement for petting the cat 30 times? HOW? This happened in Strange Horticulture too! More people saw the ending than pet the cat repeatedly, and there you only had to do it 13 times! You people are monsters!
