Dowser: Minesweeper With No Numbers, Free Demo is a game, paid, with a free browser demo on the store page.
Dowser is minesweeper with no numbers, in 15 fields and 3 digs. The first 4 fields are free in your browser. Nobody hands you a count here. You sweep a hazel rod across an old field and read the ground by hand: the brass needle and the rod's tone follow whatever lies under the tip, and the grass keeps a glowing contour map of everything you have swept. Bronze pulls the needle hard. Bone barely stirs it.
Iron swings it below the line. A live shell from an old war rings sharp inside a cold halo. Stake the relics, leave the shell where it lies, then dig. 15 fields, 3 digs. The Thistle Field, the Mosaic Floor and the Colonnade, each field laid out once and checked by a solver and by a rule-follower that reads the glow using only the game's notes: every one can be read without guessing. Five notes, learned one at a time.
Relics rise. A live shell rings. Depth spreads a reading wide and faint. Iron swings on its east side. A void sinks. Read it like a survey map. The glow is drawn as contour rings; stake the centre of a round one. Hover anywhere you have swept to read the exact number the rod left there. A clean dig is every relic and not one wasted stake, on your first try.
