About

Relic Scratch

Features
Read full description

History is not hidden beneath a thin mask. It lives in layers. Relic Scratch is a tactile archaeology game about carefully uncovering, identifying, restoring, and exhibiting ancient finds. Read the material, choose the right tool, and decide when an artifact is ready to be recovered. REAL LAYERS, MEANINGFUL DECISIONS • Remove loose sand, compacted soil, and wet clay • Work around stones and roots without damaging the find • Reveal hidden cracks and stabilize fragile areas • Watch displaced sand fly aside and remain piled at the edge • Experience surfaces that look and sound distinctly different EIGHT TOOLS WITH DISTINCT PURPOSES Brush, scraper, air blower, wooden probe, pipette, chisel, stabilizer, and material scanner each behave differently. The wrong tool may save time, but it can leave permanent damage. RESEARCH, RESCUE, AND HIDDEN SECRETS Identify artifacts using visible clues about material, shape, period, and excavation context. Take on optional rescue excavations affected by sandstorms, unstable chambers, groundwater, heavy rain, or floods. Discover rare secret chambers, hidden side finds, and artifact variants with patina, pigments, salt crusts, inscriptions, and differently preserved fragments. BUILD YOUR OWN MUSEUM Collect 30 artifacts across five excavation regions, restore damaged pieces, and open five museum halls. Personal records reward preservation, tool accuracy, and quality—not just speed. Standard and Expert modes, fair Game Center weekly expeditions, and twelve achievements provide lasting goals.
