About
In Retro Relics, you follow in the footsteps of your late Grandpa, a passionate metal detectorist. Explore nature and search for various relics with your metal detector. Roam freely with no time limits - detect, dig, help others find their lost belongings, and complete your coin and relics collection!

You can find relics from all eras (from bronze age to modern) with the help of your metal detector: coins, buttons, buckles, jewellery, military, religious relics and many more!

Uncover the mysteries of ancient ruins, explore lush forests, dusty fields and relax on a treasure hunt at the beach! Many animals can be spotted on your adventures.


Go on numerous search missions for the local people in your town, including a sassy old lady at her villa, a slightly confused hunter and many more interesting characters.

Collect more than 150 different relics from various eras and rarities.
Decorate your personal museum and display your rarest and prettiest finds:


People don't only lose treasures - help nature by picking up trash and watch animals come back to their former habitats:

At your cozy home you can sell artifacts, accept new missions via email, manage your collection and upgrade your gear.

nice simple gameplay thats easy to pick up, but i cant recommend it because the dialogue is blatantly ai generated. no ai disclosure either. i wouldve preferred amateurish writing over "its not x, its y" "you didnt just x, you y" over and over. its also rather buggy; if you do pick this game up, i suggest making it a habit to save whenever you find a quest item or something you want to sell. you never know when your character might freeze, or the game might crash and make you lose progress
I loved this. What a great game! I'm ready for the next one. ❤️
A pretty fun little game, but that's the one flaw too; it's a very short game. Like one evening's entertainment really. Still, the challenges are there, and it feels good to find what the people hire you to get. I just wish there was more.
It was okey but... I finished it in an hour and a half, too short for 10 bucks No achievement for finding all relics? really? then why would I bother ?? Sometimes the music bugs out and money is mostly useless. IT feels like there is no point in completing the game. I wish there was some incentive to exploring more than the quests
Relaxing and a bit fun metal detecting adventure. Nice visuals, simple gameplay. Game has some (some...) minor technical and UX issues, but it's still fun and enjoyable.
Was a beta tester and loved this game from the start! Super cozy if you just want to turn off your brain and search for relics and make a collection. Stopped beta testing so I could enjoy the story in full from start to finish with no spoilers. Great dev and group of folks in the discord, come join us! Learn more about metal detecting and maybe start a new hobby -- when you're done with the game of course :)
Real fun and cozy game. With love created.
A beautiful game that helps me relax. All the different animals roaming freely through the various areas make them feel very lively. I was especially happy when the turtles returned to the beach. :)
Ist ein ganz gutes Spiel für nebenbei. Man ist relativ schnell durch, aber es gibt ein paar Eastereggs und genug zum Sammeln :)
It was fun and not grindy!
