About the Game

Hello everyone, I’m an indie game developer with five cats. This is a free 2D puzzle game where you restore damaged artifacts from various periods of ancient history. Move and rotate the pieces to complete the restoration like a jigsaw puzzle!

Game Features:

  • Each level showcases a beautifully crafted ancient artifact, accompanied by a brief introduction.

  • Simple mouse controls: Left-click to move, scroll to zoom, and right-click to rotate.

  • A nostalgic art style with relaxing background music.

  • A peacefully sleeping cat will always be by your side—come and unwind!
