​Artifact is a 3D first person alien survival horror game, where you must hunt down four artifacts (a gun and three batteries to power it) and then kill the aliens, without getting caught. However, the player has limited stamina, and everything he picks up weighs him down, making it harder to survive.

Effect of the theme: Each time you pick up an item, you add weight. You start to move slower, run for less time, and eventually cannot run. Also, for each artifact pickup, the aliens find you more easily. Once you pick up all of them, they know exactly where you are, and your only choice is to fight, if you can.

Me playing, for those who cannot play due to lag (Please don't watch if you are going to play, the video spoils the game): https://youtu.be/hsf3LT-rwpA

Controls:

Escape - Pause game. Can return to home screen and quit.

WASD - Move character.

F - Pick up nearby item.

Left Shift - Sprint. Careful though, you have limited stamina

Left click - Turn flashlight on/off. You have limited battery, so conserve it

Right click - Fire blaster. Blaster has no charge, but the artifacts provide ammunition

Unfortunately, I cannot claim credit for most of the beautiful art work in the game. The asset store is my friend, at least until I get a dedicated artist. A detailed list of asset names is in the credits, which are displayed upon victory.

EDIT: Thank you Rybro for taking the time to play my game! Here is his video:
