Field notes
Relic Words repeats fifty locations across three routes rather than simply adding new boards: Day hides twelve words and a riddle-led secret, Night removes the word list, and Expert requires every word to use the central tile. Clearing five chambers restores part of a relic, while each visited site adds a dated journal page. The page reports 1,050 chambers, 714 secret words, and 142 relics, and says the game works offline without an account.
