The studio

An independent project created for the joy of making games.

Archaeo Games is an independent game creation studio led by Damien Prybis in Asnières-sur-Seine, France. It began with the pleasure of designing experiences, building worlds and, quite simply, playing.

The studio creates accessible games that connect simple mechanics with ancient civilizations, artifacts, strategy and an original musical identity.

Archaeo Games does not claim the scale of a large production. Its approach is deliberately independent: experiment, learn, select the right ideas and turn them into coherent experiences.

Archaeo Puzzle - restore lost artifacts

Archaeo Puzzle is an accessible Android puzzle game. Players solve sorting puzzles, progress through excavations, restore artifacts and build a collection inspired by historical civilizations.

  • 1,020 levels
  • 204 artifacts
  • 17 civilizations
  • 6 regions
  • 6 languages
  • Android

Archaeo Puzzle is entertainment inspired by history; it is not intended to replace scholarly or scientific material.

Extend the journey through music

The music supports civilizations, places and moments of progression without attempting to reproduce historical music literally.

A culture of games

From 1990s strategy to Archaeo experiences

Age of Empires, Civilization, StarCraft and Supreme Commander fostered a lasting interest in civilizations, progression systems, large maps and worlds that are rewarding to understand.

Archaeo Puzzle and Archaeo Defense are simpler and more accessible experiences, yet retain part of that heritage: progress, discover a world and gradually understand the systems that shape it.

These titles are cited as personal influences. Archaeo Games is not associated or affiliated with their respective publishers.

Direction

Languages, music and artistic sensitivity

Damien Prybis has been creating and experimenting online since the 2000s. With a literary background in Applied Foreign Languages - English, Spanish and Portuguese - followed by training in international marketing, he now leads Archaeo Games.

Learning music theory trained his ear and developed a particular attention to themes, rhythms and atmosphere. This sensitivity guides the project's musical direction.

Archaeo Games is not intended as personal promotion. Its creator publicly takes responsibility for the work and its choices while keeping the games, images and music at the center.

Creative process

Human creation, assisted by AI

In 2026, the entire Archaeo Games project is created and produced by Damien Prybis, with support from artificial-intelligence tools.

These tools support development, writing, visual creation and music production. They remain instruments serving human intent, choices and craft.

Creation and direction remain human: intentions, mechanics, historical themes, artistic decisions, selection, corrections, iterations and final approval are led by Damien Prybis.

The tools have changed, but the pleasure remains the same: imagine a world, understand how it works and want to play in it.
