Relics 2: The Crusader's Tomb is a 400,000-word, entirely text-based interactive adventure novel by James Shaw, and the second game in the Relics trilogy. Set in 1938, it follows a 1930s archaeologist racing across Europe and Asia to find the tomb of a crusading knight who discovered a terrible secret in the East and then vanished. Your choices shape the story as you pursue the treasure, solve an ancient mystery and contend with rivals and murderous enemies.

The race for the tomb

A terminally ill English aristocrat wants to locate the resting place of one of his legendary ancestors. A cryptic, coded poem points the way, and five leading treasure-hunters and archaeologists are challenged to follow the trail. Whoever reaches the tomb first stands to win a fortune, while a shady organization tries to stop you from finding the truth.

You face four memorable rivals who will do anything to reach the prize first. The 4,000-mile race takes you across Europe and Asia by plane, airship, train, car or motorcycle, as you try to stay ahead of your opponents.

Places and perils

Your journey includes a brawl in the Moulin Rouge in Paris, a heist in Venice, an infiltration of Hitler’s “Grail Castle” in Germany, a night in a vampire castle in Romania and discoveries beneath Istanbul’s busy streets. Along the way, you face gunfights, brawls and stunts in vintage vehicles.

Your character and romances

You can play as male, female or non-binary, and choose to be gay, straight, bi, poly, asexual or aromantic. You can continue a romance from Relics of the Lost Age or pursue one of three new romanceable partners: a hedonistic historian (m), an elusive master-thief (nb) or a treacherous rival (f).
