3D object examination
Pick up, rotate and zoom in on objects. Inspect their surfaces, construction, wear and hidden details from different angles.
THE GAME
Every object has a story.
Not every story is true.
One-line pitch
Run an antique attribution bureau, investigate objects using historically grounded methods, discover the truth — then decide what you are willing to certify when money, debt, and human stories get involved.
Short description
Genuine Article is a historical investigation and puzzle game about authenticating antiques, combining an illustrated visual style with hands-on 3D object examination. Pick up, rotate and inspect objects at your bureau. Use a magnifying glass, raking light, balance scales, touchstone and acid tests, and historical reference books to examine materials, hallmarks, construction, wear and provenance. Your findings become official certificates — but the truth is not always the most profitable answer.
