A slow, contemplative excavation where you uncover the remnants of a lost civilization, one puzzle piece at a time.

What players say

Players are split on this digging game. Many find the loop of scanning and digging for artifacts grindy with no upgrades to speed things up, and some report that one relic is stuck in the ground, making full completion impossible.
