What is available

Release availability updated 25 September 2026: Episode 1 · Part 1 — Dig Site 6 is a free playable demo, version 0.909. The complete first episode and later parts remain in development. Descriptions, artwork and planned features may change as development continues.

Browsing is free. Where account registration is offered, creating an account is also free. An account does not buy, reserve or guarantee access to an unreleased game. No purchases, paid subscriptions or preorders are available on this website at present.

You may play the demo as a guest. Saving and loading requires an active, email-verified account. The demo offers up to 40 separate manual saves and a Part 1 completion checkpoint; it does not automatically save your progress. Interest buttons express a non-binding preference and do not place an order.

Your account

You must be at least 16 to create an account. We do not offer accounts for people under 16, including through a parent or guardian. If you are 16 or 17, obtain a parent or guardian's permission where the law applicable to you requires it.

Use an email address you control, truthfully confirm that you are at least 16 and choose a password you do not use elsewhere. We ask you to verify your email address before the account becomes active. We do not ask for your full date of birth or a parent or guardian's email address during registration.

Keep your password and verification links private. Tell us promptly if you believe somebody else has accessed your account. You can delete your account in the Account panel after confirming your current password, or request account closure by emailing mail@objective.srl; we may ask you to confirm that you control the account.

By selecting the terms checkbox during registration, you agree to these account terms. A separate age declaration confirms that you are at least 16. The privacy notice explains how we use personal data; accepting these terms is not consent to advertising, newsletters or optional tracking.

Internal testing and gameplay statistics

We use two separate sets of first-party statistics for internal testing and improvement: daily estimates of distinct network addresses and their approximate countries, and unlinked gameplay totals. The visitor counter uses a fresh daily keyed IP hash and deletes the hashes and key after the day closes. Game totals record starts, increments of active time, progress milestones, puzzle time, move or command counts, and completions. They are not connected to IP hashes, countries, accounts or persistent player identifiers.

These figures help assess puzzle difficulty and possible progression problems. They are estimates, not a history of each player. We do not record every action, mouse movement, keystroke or dialogue choice, and we do not use statistics for advertising. Test activity is included in its own environment. Anonymous daily aggregate totals are retained indefinitely for historical comparisons; visitor hashes are still deleted daily. Use Privacy & play statistics in the game menu to stop future collection from your browser; play and saves remain available. The privacy notice explains the stated legitimate-interest basis, safeguards, earlier consent-based records and your rights. Accepting these terms is not consent to analytics. The browser storage notice explains the local objection preference.

Fair use

You may browse the website and use the account features made available to you for their intended purpose. Do not attempt to access another person's account, bypass access controls, upload malicious content, interfere with the service or use it unlawfully.

We may temporarily restrict an account when reasonably necessary to investigate misuse or protect the service. We will explain the reason and provide a way to contact us where doing so would not undermine security or a legal obligation. Any action will be proportionate to the issue.

Artwork, stories and other material

Our original stories, designs and other protected material remain the property of their respective rights holders. You may view and share links to this website. Other reuse requires permission unless an applicable licence or the law allows it. Third-party and public-domain material keeps its own status and terms.

Some artwork and fictional voices were created using generative AI and edited or directed for this project. They depict a fictional setting and fictional performances. Details of the tools and other contributions are available in the credits.

Availability and changes

We maintain the service with reasonable care. Maintenance, security incidents or technical problems can temporarily interrupt access. We will communicate material changes to account features or these terms through the website or an account email where appropriate. Changes do not remove rights you already have under mandatory law.

Other websites

Links to bookstores, contributors and public authorities open independently operated websites. Their own terms and privacy notices apply when you choose to visit them. A link does not require you to make a purchase.

Questions and disputes

Please use the site's Contact button, or email mail@objective.srl, so we can try to resolve a problem. Where applicable, consumers may use the Romanian consumer authority's alternative dispute resolution service (ANPC SAL). Information is also available from ANPC.

Romanian law applies to these terms. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of mandatory protections under the law of your habitual residence or your right to use a competent court or supervisory authority. Nothing here excludes liability or a remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.
