In a world where ancient artifacts have bizarre magical properties, you play as a washed-up archaeologist turned reluctant artifact dealer. When a renowned scholar is found dead, you become the prime suspect. To clear your name, you must outwit quirky character archetypes—from a rival art thief to a scheming collector—as you navigate through a web of deception and dark humor. The game is heavily reliant on dialogue choices, allowing players to craft their own storylines and outcomes while solving clues and uncovering secrets linked to various artifacts.
