Attic Antiquities

Attic Antiquities is a story-driven game about Elias Beaufort, who must use precise tools to remove spirits from haunted dolls in his workshop. Each mistake risks letting a spirit escape, putting Elias’s life on the line.

Elias Beaufort

The story takes place in 1908. Elias has long turned away from his family’s traditions of cleansing haunted objects, a dangerous but rewarding hidden profession. One night, he finds a box outside his shop containing a dangerous haunted doll. As he investigates the spirit within each doll that appears on his doorstep, he uncovers his own history and learns who sent the doll and why.

Work in the workshop

You choose the right tool for each limb, focus on it to begin work, and may need multiple tools to remove the evil within. You cut limbs open with scissors, following the line and avoiding obstacles, then pull strange objects away from the doll. To seal it, you use special stitches: turn the needle and charge it before pushing it forward, taking care not to push so hard that you loosen the seal.

As you work through each limb, you use a cleansing coin to clear spirit fragments from a board. You must leave no trace behind when you reach the final fragment; anything left gives the spirit another chance to escape.
