Buy The Magnificent Trufflepigs PC key

The Magnificent Trufflepigs is a first-person narrative game about metal detecting and a complicated relationship. You play as Adam, a sharp-witted but compassionate man returning to his childhood village of Stanning to help Beth search a local farm for a lost earring. As their search unfolds, you learn about Beth’s past and decide how Adam responds as she faces her demons.

The search

The story takes place in summer in the northern English countryside. Beth is a successful woman in her twenties, close to becoming CEO of the biggest company in the valley and seemingly on the path to settling down, but she feels something is missing. As a pre-teen, she found an earring while detecting on a local farm. The discovery brought her brief fame and a modest amount of money, but most importantly made her feel special; she never found its match.

The farm is due to be demolished in a week to make way for a solar farm. Beth sees this as her last chance to recover her childhood sense of adventure, and asks Adam to help cover the ground, despite warnings from her friends. Her search for the earring brings more to light than she expected. The game is designed to be played in a single evening, with a tone like an English summer: mostly pleasant, but with stormy moments.

Detect and explore

You explore a peaceful farm with a metal detector, locate finds that are mostly rubbish, and dig them up with a large shovel and a small trowel. You can share photos of your finds with Beth.

Talk with Beth

You chat with Beth over a walkie-talkie and instant messages. Narrative choices help you uncover the mystery, learn about her hopes and fears, and steer conversations to get at the truth.
