  Hello, everyone! As we celebrate the third anniversary of Strange Horticulture, we want to take a moment to reflect on this incredible journey and share our heartfelt gratitude. When we first started developing a game about a little plant shop nestled in the mysterious town of Undermere, we couldn’t have imagined how deeply it would connect with all of you.

• Happy Holidays from Bad Viking! - 19 December 2024

  Dear Horticulturists, What an exciting year we’ve had! We definitely hit some Bad Viking milestones in 2024 and we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved this year. We brought Strange Horticulture to a few new platforms – you can now identify plants and help the residents of Undermere on the go and on your couch – and worked hard on watering the seeds of our return to dark and eerie Undermere. And it’s exhilarating to see your enthusiasm and excitement about the sequel. From the teasers back in June, to the art contest, to the gameplay reveal trailer we released last week, working on Strange Antiquities has been an electrifying experience. We cannot wait to show you more in 2025. For now, we’ll settle down for a bit – enjoy the end of the year and celebrate with the family. We’re wishing you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. 2025 is going to be a good one. John & Rob Bad Viking B…

• Strange Antiquities: Catch a First Look at the Sequel’s Gameplay! - 11 December 2024

  Dear Horticulturists, After teasing you all a few weeks ago, we’re beyond excited to share the first in-depth look at the gameplay of Strange Horticulture’s upcoming sequel, Strange Antiquities. A few weeks ago, we got together in an old candle-lit cottage and tried to recreate some of the atmosphere from the game – rustic shelves, old maps, and as many strange-looking antiques as we could find (as well as a soft toy of Hellebore!) to talk about what you can expect from the standalone sequel. In this gameplay reveal trailer, you’ll get a first in-depth look at the mechanics in the standalone sequel. It’ll still feel like Undermere with its cosy rain-soaked atmosphere and darkly mysterious undercurrent – but with new challenges, new puzzles, and new approaches. What new feature are you most excited about? We hope you’re as excited to return to the streets of Undermere as we are, John & R…
