Whose Artifact Is It Anyway?

In a world where ancient relics tell stories of their own, you play as Ivy Blake, a disgraced artifact analyst who is offering her skills to a mysterious underground auction house. Each auction is a high-stakes performance with ethically dubious sellers and eccentric buyers. You'll interact with various characters—from smugglers to historians—who each have a motive to either help you uncover or hide the dark truths of these artifacts. Gather clues, decipher riddles, and choose how to negotiate or confront other players, who might be detectives or fellow competitors disguising their true intentions. As the plot unfolds, the artifacts themselves guide you toward shocking revelations, forcing you into a dangerous game of deception and wit. Who will walk away with the treasures, and who will be trapped by their own greed?
