Artifacts and Antiquity for Windows

Historically driven free horror/adventure role-playing game

Artifacts and Antiquity is a free first-person RPG based in a shipping company warehouse. However, the presence of strange ancient relics soon causes things to take a decidedly strange turn. It offers gamers a handful of jumpscares as well as an entertaining narrative.

The point-and-click gameplay associated with Artifacts and Antiquity can be compared to other games, such as Occult Case Files: Case One. There are many levels to explore, and the player will be required to gather various items while avoiding entities known as sentinels in order to progress.

A narrative-driven story

A fair amount of time is needed to speak with other non-playable characters during the gameplay itself. This further explains the storyline while providing clues in regard to what actions need to be taken.

Unique navigational methods

As this game is based within a warehouse, the player will be presented with a series of security camera screens. He or she will need to click on these screens to discover useful information as well as to find vital clues. However, some zones are traps, and these areas will cause the player to return to the previous security camera level.

Up-front instructions

Unlike some other first-person platforms that require players to rely upon intuition alone, this game provides all vital instructions at the very beginning. This should offer a more streamlined experience for those who are casual gamers.

Deceptively engaging

While some players may feel that this game is relatively easy to complete, its immersive atmosphere will provide a level of engagement that can be compared to a range of other successful platforms, such as Samsara Room.
