If you ve had your fill of single player slogs or tedious multiplayer modes that require you to grind for virtual riches that otherwise cost real money then
The Magnificent Trufflepigs should feel like a breath of fresh air. The new offering from Andrew Crawshaw, the lead designer of
Everybody s Gone to the Rapture, is an indie title that you can play from start to finish in one sitting. Coming to the Nintendo Switch and PC this summer, the pastoral game has you traipsing through the British countryside looking for buried treasure using a metal detector, with just a walkie talkie for companionship.
Published 10 Mar, 2021 Romantic metal detecting adventure isn t a group of words I d have expected to write today, but it turns out romance is always possible with a bit of history and mystery. The Magnificent Trufflepigs is an upcoming adventure in northern England in which main character Adam digs up some buried mysteries on an old farm while talking to his pal Beth. If you recognise the voice, that sure is Arthur Darvill who you may remember as Rory of Doctor Who fame. In classic romantic dramedy fashion, Beth is just about to become a high-powered CEO who s nearly ready to check off all those popular life milestones of kids and career. She s made a return visit to the countryside, as one does, where she ll dig up some local mysteries with her old pal Adam. That s you, the one with the metal detector.
