      🗺️ Map & Terrain Notes

      • Bridges, water, paths, and parking lots can be scanned or walked on but cannot be dug.
      • If you're not sure, test it—some tiles might surprise you.

      🏁 Game Objective

      • The game ends when you:
        • Find all artifacts (40 total)
        • Help all NPCs (4 total)
        • Or run out of energy with not enough money to buy more

      💡 Bonus Tips

      • Each area has 5 different maps.
      • Every map contains 2 possible artifact spawns, but only 1 can be found per map load.
      • Once you've found both artifacts for a map, a message on the right-hand panel will confirm you've found all available artifacts for that map.
      • You can replay cleared maps, but artifacts won’t reappear once found.

      So… you've just received a metal detector in the mail.

      (As if you didn’t already have enough hobbies.)

      Are you ready for hours of beeps that mostly lead to rusty junk and dirt-caked fingers?

      Will you endure the false alarms, sunburns, and questionable holes in your backyard...

      ...in search of real “treasures”?

      Or will you give up when your battery runs dry and your pockets are full of pop tabs?

      Only you can decide.
