Description

Artifact is an adult Lovecraftian sandbox about corrupting and transforming people, possessing bodies, and bringing Miskatonic University under your influence.

Welcome to Miskatonic

You came to Miskatonic University to study Archaeology. Now, a mysterious artifact has given you the power to change the people around you.

Get to know the students and staff, follow their stories, and discover what your powers can make of them. Reshape their bodies, corrupt their minds, or possess another student and make their life your own. After all, college is a time for experimentation.

Your ordinary student life makes a useful cover. Keep up with classes, keep Suspicion down, and be careful who notices your growing influence. Someone else is interested in the artifact.

Become Anointed

Create your student. Customize your appearance, gender, perks and drawbacks, or let Birth Me roll a character for you.
Get closer to students and staff. Follow character quests and browse SHiMMER, the social network, to learn more about the people you meet.
Change the student body. Unlock powers that alter physique, gender, and intelligence.
Live as someone else. Possess randomly generated students, extract their traits, and assume another identity.
Put your influence to work. Have characters earn money, find supplies, and help keep unwanted attention away.
Experiment with the unnatural. Put student husks to work, or establish a Broodmother to produce parasites.
Or, resist the calling. Fight the artifact's influence and help others!
There are 15+ characters and 240+ distinct sex scene images!

There are different paths to suit how you want to play!
