EXCAVARA // THE DEEP ARCHIVE

FAQ

WHAT IS THIS?

A vertical mine with a record at the bottom. You dig, the music unmuffles. Every layer of depth unlocks another stem. Only in the final meters before the vault does the full mix play and the track is yours to claim.

IS IT FREE?

Yes. The digging, the music, the claim — all free. Blisters not included.

DO I NEED A CRYPTO WALLET?

No. An email address is enough — for saving progress and for claiming the track. A wallet is created for you behind the scenes, and the network fees are on us. If you know what a seed phrase is, great. If not, even better.

WHAT DO THE FIRST 50 GET?

Each drop is a limited edition of 50. Reach the core, register your spot, and the track is yours as an on-chain collectible. Everyone after #50 still gets the full experience — just not the deed to it.

I’M STUCK BETWEEN ROCKS. HELP?

Jump (↑ or W). Granite also breaks eventually — it just takes stubbornness. This question is dedicated to Aidan.

WHAT’S THE GREEN GLOWING RECORD?

A radioactive master pressing. Don’t dig into it. You’re going to dig into it, aren’t you? Fine — the contamination wears off after a few seconds. The shame is permanent.

IS MY PROGRESS SAVED?

Locally, always. Sign in and your archive follows you across devices — relics, stats, footage, everything.

WHY DOES THE MUSIC KEEP PLAYING?

Because it’s good. But fine: the ❚❚ button (or spacebar) pauses it, and the 🔊 button mutes the sound effects.

WILL THERE BE MORE DROPS?

Yes. Every drop is its own world, its own track, its own first 50. The archive is deep and we have shovels.
