The Magnificent Trufflepigs, a romantic first-person metal-detecting adventure from Andrew Crawshaw, lead designer on The Chinese Room’s Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, now has a release date and will be making its way to PC next Wednesday, 2nd June.
Trufflepigs is the work of Crawshaw’s Leeds-based studio Thunkd (which says it wants to become synonymous with “high-quality, short-form, ‘evening-sized’ games”), and tells the story of Adam – voiced by Doctor Who and Legends of Tomorrow’s Arthur Darvill – as he returns to his childhood home in the heart of the English countryside.
What follows is a game of laid-back metal detecting and exploration with a “strong interpersonal narrative” as Adam reunites with old friend Beth (played by Safe House and Another Eden’s Luci Fish) and joins her on a quest to find a local treasure connected to her past.
