A darkly humorous strategy game where you manage traumatized archaeologists from behind a desk, balancing resources and phobias.

What players say
Players are split on Archeo: Shinar. Many praise the novel archaeology business setting, but the execution draws sharp criticism. The tutorial is widely called confusing and incomplete. The voice acting and writing are almost universally panned. A recurring complaint is that employees develop crippling phobias that cannot be cured, making them useless. Others call the loop too minimalist and dull.
