Sift: Archaeology Field Lab

SOCIAL RIVALS LTD

About this game

Open a field notebook and step into Sift, a calm archaeology discovery game built around careful hands and small details. Work through 24 handcrafted field jobs across meadow trenches, desert ruins, forest settlements, coastal deposits, buried workshops and a final museum preparation lab.

Every job follows a complete archaeological workflow. Excavate soil in shallow layers while watching artifact safety. Record the find on a survey grid. Sift sediment with controlled movement. Brush fragile surfaces clean. Then match broken edges to reconstruct a fictional object for the collection.

Your final grade reflects how carefully you worked. Rough handling, unnecessary corrections and damage lower the conservation quality, while precise fieldwork earns up to three stars and unlocks more demanding sites.

Features:
• 24 handcrafted archaeology jobs across six site chapters
• Five interactive phases: excavation, recording, sifting, brushing and reconstruction
• Local progression with stars, quality grades and unlock requirements
• Interactive first-job tutorial
• Detailed soil, paper, pottery, canvas and museum-inspired visual treatment
• Pause, restart, retry and proper back navigation
• Sound, ambient music and haptic toggles
• Local state restoration and progress saving
• Fully offline gameplay
• No ads, subscriptions, login, analytics or tracking

Sift is a fictional casual fieldwork experience inspired by archaeological methods. All artifacts and sites in the game are invented for play.
