Awakened Relics

Awakened Relics is an interactive puzzle game set against the backdrop of cultural heritage preservation. Following an ecological disaster, most living organisms on Earth have disappeared. Once its battery is restored, a robot is reactivated and sent to investigate ancient ruins buried within a frozen landscape. Through environmental observation, site scanning, clue collection, and spatial puzzles, players gradually uncover the history and cultural meanings embedded in the architecture.

As the glaciers melt, the ruins collapse, and different timelines begin to overlap, players are confronted with the ways cultural heritage can be simplified, misinterpreted, or gradually lost through the processes of documentation, restoration, and communication. Through its puzzle-based mechanics, the game explores how we might understand, record, and preserve the cultural memories carried by architecture—even when its physical form no longer survives.
