DigSite

DigSite is an archaeology game set in the deserts of ancient Egypt. You buy a dig site license, choose where to excavate and search for valuable artifacts. Digging drains your energy, which you can restore by drinking water or resting in the shade.

Excavating and restoring

Artifacts are randomly placed, so each play-through offers different finds. Sandstorms can make digging difficult, and fragile artifacts can break if you do not handle them with care. Puzzles can lead to unique artifacts, while some finds may be cursed and bring the player bad luck. You can switch between top-down and first-person views.

After excavating an artifact, clean and restore it, then photograph it with a vintage camera before sending it to a museum. Donating rare artifacts earns recognition and money that you can use to expand your excavation operations. Before donating, identify forged artifacts to avoid damaging your reputation.

Life in the desert

The day-night cycle affects what you can do: certain actions and explorations are only possible during daylight. At night, the temperature drops and visibility is limited, so use a lantern to find your way back to your tent. Snakes and scorpions lurk in the desert after dark.

You can earn money by photographing tourists or giving old books to the professor. A truck lets you transport heavy items.
