The Archaeological Expedition demo is now live

The demo is out now. Become an archaeologist and dig up history one piece at a time. You choose where to dig and how — fast and rough, or slow and careful — and that choice decides whether a fragile find survives.

Every artifact is real, from common potsherds to once-in-a-lifetime treasures, each with the story of what it is and the era it came from. Recover all 160 across ten eras and eighteen sites, upgrade your tools, and keep digging as the storms roll in.

In the demo

• 3 historical eras — Roman, Medieval, Islamic (10 in the full game)

• 2 dig sites — Petra and Bukhara (18 in the full game)

• Brush, Shovel and Pickaxe, Bronze and Silver tiers (Gold tier and the Bulldozer in the full game)

• 28 in-game achievements to earn (in the full game they become Steam Achievements, along with 33 more base-game ones)

• The whole core loop: artifact condition (Perfect to Destroyed), rarity (Common to Mythical), the collection journal, the shop, and per-site leaderboards

English and Ukrainian. Plays well with mouse, keyboard, or controller — and it's great on Steam Deck.
