Unearth: Dust & Discover
A quiet excavation game for iPhone and iPad
Live on the App Store · v1.0You brush dirt off a buried pot with one finger and turn it with two until every last speck is gone. There is no timer, no score, and no way to lose. Each pot is generated fresh — shape, glaze, era, and rarity are all seeded — so the one you are cleaning has never existed before and will not come back.
What still needs work Version 1.0 is the smallest thing I was willing to put my name on: one artifact type, one dig site, one loop. The collection shelf needs more reason to come back to it, and the brush still feels slightly too forgiving on the last few specks. I would rather ship a small thing that is actually finished and then widen it than ship a wide thing that is thin everywhere.
- v1.0 plays fully offline. There is no backend, because I did not build one.
- v1.0 ships no ads, no accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting, and no third-party SDKs.
- v1.0 never shows an App Tracking Transparency prompt, because there is nothing to track.
- Honors Reduce Motion: with it on, the pot stops drifting on its own.
- If a later version adds anything that collects or shares data, it ships its own policy URL and this one keeps describing v1.0.
