This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive
(may not load correctly).
Explore the depth of an egyptian pyramid but beware of traps and other kinds of Ancient Technology...

And don't let the mechanical anubis-guardian get you.

To trigger the "good end" you have to collect all five treasures in the pyramid.

Maybe talking to the NPCs will help you to solve the puzzles.

Arrow Keys / WASD to move

E / Spacebar to interact

Mouse for close ups/puzzles (Click to interact)

IF YOU HAVE PERFORMANCE ISSUES:

- Use the Post-Jam version.

- Alternatively set "Darkness" to "Bright" in the menu but that doesnt look nearly as cool.

Made in C++ with SDL, SDL_image, SDL_mixer, SDL_ttf and SDL_gfx

Junber - Programming, all sorts of stuff

NonSans - "Graphics", Game and Level Design

MarC - Music and Sound

Changes for Post-Jam:

- Incresed performance

- Increased size of player light making "realistic"-mode playable

- End-door actually emitts lights

- Dust particles dis-/appear if you change to/from Bright setting

- (Hopefully) made the hint for one puzzle more clear

- Made Torch-flickering look less shitty

- Redid all text screens without anti-aliasing to look more like the menu

- End-screen no longer sometimes ends because of previous input

- Pressing Space or E now quits puzzle mode

- You no longer see the light of torches behind walls

Have fun!
