Our take on Unsung Heroes: The Golden Mask
Players who prefer one consistent activity may bounce when the game switches between present-day excavation, historical scenes, artifact restoration, and separate minigames. The structure repeatedly changes context as the investigation moves between the archaeologists and Xi Niu.
What is Unsung Heroes: The Golden Mask?

The game includes 14 minigames, divided between seven in the present and seven in the past. Exploration covers four dig sites with four main artifacts each, six historical locations, 16 main artifacts, and 40 optional artifacts.
