Here's a look at Everybody's Gone to the Rapture designer's romantic metal-detecting adventure

The Magnificent Trufflepigs

The Magnificent Trufflepigs is a first-person, metal-detecting narrative game. It combines laid-back detecting and exploration with a dramatic story, all set in a beautiful English countryside. It’s a game about trying to find something.

The Magnificent Trufflepigs, a romantic first-person metal-detecting adventure from Everybody's Gone to the Rapture lead designer Andrew Crawshaw, has just received a first trailer ahead of its arrival on PC and Switch later this year.

Developed by Crawshaw's Leeds-based studio Thunkd (which aims to focus on short-form, "evening-sized" experiences), The Magnificent Trufflepigs tells the story of Adam - played by Doctor Who and Legends of Tomorrow's Arthur Darvill - as he returns to his childhood home.

Here, he reunites with Beth (Safe House and Another Eden's Luci Fish) who, with a CEO job looming, is on a mission to rekindle her sense of adventure by seeking out a local treasure connected to her past. "But all is not as it seems," teases publisher AMC, "and players will have to choose how Adam responds as cracks begin to appear in Beth's fairy tale plans."
