The Cursed Artifact (2024)

About this game

It’s 1942, and your country needs you. Word comes down from military command that certain lost antiquities may hold the power to sway the war in their favor. Your job is to obtain those artifacts by any means necessary; compete to control dig sites, gain powerful equipment, recruit workers, and steal from your adversaries. But beware - the most powerful artifacts impart a curse upon anyone who holds them. Can you make it to your exfiltration before the curse takes its hold on you? —description from the publisher
