The Artifacts in the Inventory

Artifacts are collectibles in FEZ that can be found in Treasure Chests. The artifacts serve little to no purpose in the game, other than for vague clues and achievement hunting. There are 4 different types of Artifacts in FEZ.

The Writing Cube[]

The Writing Cube shows the letters of the Zuish Language on all six of its sides. Rotating it at different angles would allow one to see all 24 possible letters.

The Tome Artifact[]

The Tome has the appearance of a very thick book, with a red cover, golden inbound and corners, and a gold symbol representing the third dimension on the cover. It can be found in the backmost room of the Library.

Inside is a jumble of letters in Zuish script, that when read three-dimensionally, decodes to a poem:

FROM OUT OF NOWHERE 
IMPOSSIBLE VISITORS 
OUR BENEFACTORS 
WATCHING OVER US 
IN THE HIDDEN FOLDS OF SPACE 
IN FRONT OF BEHIND 
GIVE THE GOLDEN GIFT 
A DEEP REVELATION 
OUR EYES WIDE OPEN 
SHAPES TO TESSELLATE 
WITH SACRED GEOMETRY 
AN EMPIRE TO BUILD 
A NEW PERSPECTIVE 
THINGS UNSEENS BUT ALWAYS THERE 
A NEW DIRECTION

THE SIXTY FOUR BIT NAME OF GOD 
THE POINT OF ORIGIN

WHERE DOES IT END
