In an alternate world where history has been scrambled due to a magical mishap, players take on the role of archiving expert Alex Quirk, tasked with resolving claims over a trove of dubious relics. Each relic has a wild backstory, and players must interact with a quirky cast of characters—like a time-displaced pirate, a sassy ancient philosopher, and an enthusiastic museum curator—to gather clues, solve puzzles, and determine the true ownership of each artifact. As players navigate this chaotic world, they must choose how to negotiate, deceive, or ally with their eccentric opponents while racing against time to prevent a relic-related catastrophe.
