About the Game

Uncover What Lies Beneath

Carefully excavate layered blocks to reveal hidden relics buried within. Each surface is made up of different materials, and every strike matters. Use precise tools and thoughtfully chosen patterns to clear each layer as efficiently as possible.

A Satisfying Excavation Loop

Chip away at stone, sand, and clay with clean, tactile feedback. Watch each layer break apart piece by piece as the shape of a hidden artifact slowly emerges. Every action is designed to feel deliberate, readable, and satisfying.

Discover Relics and Their Stories

Each relic you uncover is inspired by real historical artifacts and traditions. As you reveal them, you’ll uncover the true—and sometimes surprising—stories behind the lives they came from.

With minimalist visuals, soft atmosphere, and a focus on gentle interaction, Sainthood Relics is designed to be a peaceful, meditative experience. Take your time, slow down, and enjoy the process of uncovering something meaningful.
