Oddments & Offerings

Oddments & Offerings is a game made by a solo developer, currently in Early Access. The player runs an antique shop with a day and night structure. During the day, the player manages the shop and sells recovered items for profit. At night, the player leaves the shop to enter extraction zones such as abandoned mansions and hedge mazes.

In the extraction zones, the player searches rooms, furniture and hidden corners for antiques and strange objects. Every item has weight and carrying capacity is limited, so the player must choose which items to take and which to leave behind. The deeper the player explores, the greater the risk, and some enemies in these areas are hostile to the player.

Earnings from sales can be spent on upgrades, new shop rooms and improved abilities. Items do not have to be sold: discovered objects are recorded in a collection book, and the player can display them around the shop to gain standing with customers. The developer lists planned additions including more maps, items, enemies and shop expansions, plus a furniture placement and decorating system. A free demo is available during the Next Fest from 19 to 26 October, though it comes from an earlier build and does not include everything shown in the latest trailer.
