8 itemsAbout the Game
Aquire the most precious historical items in the world
It's the beginning of the 1900s and you have been hired by the most prominent collector of historical artefacts in Britain, Professor Knickknack. He is planning on creating the greatest museum in the world and has hired you to get the items for him. So for the foreseeable future you will travel around the world to different historical sites and their tombs, collecting as you go.
Get the artefact at the inner chamber of each tomb
It is what lies in the inner chamber of each tomb that is your objective, anything else you might find is just a bonus. It might sounds easy, but it is not a straight path and the artefacts are protected by more than you think. Survive monsters, blow up walls and disarm traps. Do whatever you need to do to get to the inner chamber and out again.
Join a squad of 1-4 fellow archeologists
Due to the lack of modern equipment, the number one tool at your disposal is your friends. You need to work together to increase your odds of leaving the tomb with the treasure, alive...
Randomly generated worlds
Ancient sites and their tombs are randomly generated, meaning each exploration will be different from the next.
Find clues
Within each tomb you may find past explorers that did not make it out. They might hold onto information about where other ancient sites exist or how certain monsters in the tomb might behave. The tombs themselves might contain clues as well, make sure to explore thoroughly.
Tomb Monsters and Entities
Explore with care, the tombs may contain more than treasure.. The monsters can act very differently, make sure to learn how they work if you want to make it out alive
Realistic visuals and sound for full immersion
Proximity Chat with fellow archeologists
Early 1900s time setting, meaning a limited set of tools at your disposal
Every map is unique, meaning a fresh experience with each playthrough
