What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I would like the game to have fanbase input to help curate a game that both fun and fulfilling. Feedback is highly valuable. I hope to make something that surpasses the original expectations from players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access for as long as necessary, to make sure it is baked just right.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to add a lot more original artwork, music, plus finish out the story, and add post-endgame content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can customize your look and traits, travel around the campus seducing staff and students with supernatural powers, turn men into femboys or minions, infect people with horny parasitic worms, lower their intelligence, dynamically change the size of genitalia, send them into a sex frenzy, and utilize their skills or connections to help take over the university! You can possess randomly-generated students , steal their varying physical traits, and use them to further your goals. There are branching decision trees, various upgrades to boost your powers, random encounters, and quests.

If you are used to playing games in their finished state, please consider adding Artifact to your wishlist!”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I am counting on community feedback to make the best game possible. I do my best to quickly address any issues from bugs to technical support, and the Discord has some other lovely people who love to help!”

About This Game

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!
