About this game
Brain Artifice is a puzzle game in which the player needs to build combinations out of given blocks.
While initially the combinations simply consist of the the same picture or colour, in later levels there are certain patterns to achieve.

The blocks are initially divided over the playfield and after grabbing one of them, the player can move it freely over all the unoccupied space.
If the block is near another block from the pattern - the detailed requirements change from level to level - it is stuck and can't be moved anymore.
When a whole pattern is done, the stones transform into bricks so the player knows it is time to work with the rest of the stones.
All this has to be done within a time limit, and unwinnable situations are entirely possible.
The game features 100 levels which introduce additional gameplay elements over time, e.g. static blocks, blocks which change their colour or hidden blocks.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Artifact Run for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Artifact Run to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PC release dates back to 2024.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Artifact Run, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PC titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
