How it feels
You drift through empty, beautifully rendered halls of a derelict starship, piecing together clues at your own pace in quiet, contemplative solitude.

What players say
Players describe The Artifact as a very short point-and-click puzzle game similar to The Room, taking 30 minutes to an hour to finish. The puzzles are easy, but some note a lack of basic features like a quit button or settings menu, and occasional crashes can softlock progress. Most agree the price only makes sense at a deep discount.
