Dear players,
The Artifact Seeker is reborn! The new DLC Legacy of Mortia will also be released simultaneously. Thank you for your long-term support. In the new DLC, you will experience:

New character, Ceratil the Battle Doll

Ceratil, a name in the dwarven tongue that means “Ancient Guardian,” was the last of the ancient artifacts unearthed from the Mortia mines, meticulously crafted by the greatest magical artisans of an ancient kingdom long perished. Her form is exquisitely beautiful and indestructible, with an inner structure containing lost magics and technologies. Her gauntlets serve not only as weapons but also as conduits for interacting with the world, capable of manipulating elemental forces and the magic of ancient runes. Despite Ceratil’s almost impossibly endearing appearance, her true purpose and the role she played in Mortia’s demise remain enshrouded in mystery.

Features: Ceratil doesn't like to make unnecessary moves. She either doesn't take action or kills the enemy instantly.

New character, Suraz the Artifact Collector

No one knows Suraz's past. All we know is that he has collected a lot of ancient artifacts, some of which do not belong to any era or civilization.

Features: Suraz's Grimoire will constantly change its form, and Suraz will continue to enchant and grow during the battle.

New character, Nargoth the Survivor of Mortia

When Mortia fell hundreds of years ago, Nargoth was just an apprentice craftsman. Although his casting skills are now perfect, he still hopes to regain Mortia's lost skills.

Features: Dwarves are always the most shrewd and greedy, and Nargoth always finds a way to get the best discounts.

In addition, the DLC will also
- Add a new map, Mortia, where dozens of new enemies will appear
- Add dozens of new artifacts
- Add dozens of new events
- Add some new Synergy
- Add new affixes
- Add a new in-game growth system: Awakening
- Add new custom difficulty entries and a higher atonement level cap
- Add more in-game achievements and Magic Court meta-progress

Within 2 weeks of the launch, Artifact Seeker: Resurrection will be at -40% discount and there will be a bundle with DLC at a deep discount of -60% discount. The two discounts will stack together to a nearly -75% discount of total price.

Finally, thank you again for your support. It has not been an easy journey, and we will continue to update it. We hope you like our game.

The store page for the DLC "Legacy of Mortia" is now online.

Mortia was once the pride of the dwarven realms, home to the most formidable dwarf craftsmen. However, the dwarves had a fatal flaw - their greed. Their lust for treasure was so intense that they forgot when to stop digging. On a fateful day, they unearthed an ancient relic deep within the mines, housing countless colossal and mystical golems. The dwarf artisans ingeniously manipulated these golems, reactivating them to accelerate the mining process. But as the mines grew ever deeper, the dwarves eventually dug up something that should not have been awakened. Thus, Mortia was lost to the bottomless darkness, never to see the light of day again.

In the new DLC, players will be able to choose to enter the ruins of Mortia for exploration after the snow map, exploring from the gate of Mortia all the way to the depths of the Mortia mine to uncover the truth behind the destruction of Mortia.

The DLC will add 3 new characters.

Thank you everyone!!!

PS: Demo has been released, so all players can experience the changes in the game in advance. The demo will inherit the progress/savefile of the original game.

We thought This super-discounted bundle is the best solution we can find to protect the rights of old players, and everyone could understand, apparently not.

Although steam has a limitation of key request, we will try to get permission to get more keys to send to all the players who are not fond of the super-discount solution （The super discount bundle plan are still there）. Since the sales number is much bigger than the base steam key limitation, the key sending might take some time. It might separate into several batch.

Please leave your mail address here. I will check if you have a mouse icon and add your mail in the list.
If you are not willing to leave your mail address or set your steam library private, you can send me a screen shot that contain your gametime of Artifact Seeker in your library to [email protected] I will also add your mail in the list while I receive your mail.



The key should be starting to send later. Might be close to the day of release or after that.
If you have other questions or problems, you can join the Discord: https://discord.gg/tHwzEeUwBW and discuss with me and other players.

Please don't chat under this announcement, only your mail. Thank you all.

Dear players,
I'm the designer of Artifact Seeker Li. Our game was removed from Steam last month (About the removal: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2510720/eventcomments/6853996657680305466/).
After a month of communication, Steam still did not agree to return the app to us and re-list it, so we chose to re-release the game ourselves.
At present, our new app "Artifact Seeker: Resurrection" has been re-listed. If you like our game, please add it to your wishlist.

If you have purchased the previous Artifact Seeker, you can still start the game through the original app. The new Artifact Seeker also inherits the save of the old app. Your support is very important to us, thank you all. We are also working hard to complete the development and finishing work of the game and the new DLC "Legacy of Mortia" and will meet you within this month. Thank you again for your support!
There will be a limited-time discount of 40% off for two weeks after the release of our new app. The new DLC will be bundled with the new app into a new bundle. There will be a limited-time discount of 60% off for the first two weeks of this bundle. The combined discount of these two discounts is about 76% off. All players can get "Artifact Seeker: Resurrection" and the DLC "Legacy of Mortia" at the same time by paying only the price of the DLC (About 3.7 USD, could be change in different regions).
Players who have purchased old app "Artifact Seeker" before can purchase the bundle to ensure that they receive future updates (after the old game is removed from Steam, we lose the right to continue updating the game and get other Steam services). This super-discounted bundle is the best solution we can find to protect the rights of old players. I hope everyone understands.

Update: We thought This super-discounted bundle is the best solution we can find to protect the rights of old players, and everyone could understand, apparently not. New key sending solution post:

If you have other questions or problems, you can join the Discord: https://discord.gg/tHwzEeUwBW and discuss with me and other players.

The publisher of “Artifact Seeker,” BD Games, has been banned by Steam, resulting in the delisting of all their associated games, totaling over 50 indie games, including “Artifact Seeker.” Some of these indie games were removed before they even went on sale.

Steam did not notify any of the involved developers after the games were removed, nor have we received further information from the publisher. Regardless of the rules violated by BD Games leading to their ban, the developers are not at fault. The removal of all indie games is a lazy and unfair approach. We are currently trying every possible method to communicate with Steam and seek a solution to get our game back.

If you have any suggestions or would like to offer support, please leave a comment or join our Discord https://discord.gg/RhffmVaTUb to share your thoughts with us. Thank you all.
