About Imhotep, Pyramid Builder
Do you like watching others do all the work?
Cats do!
In this unique game you will plan, direct and oversee the construction of a Pyramid in Ancient Egypt.
Organize agriculture, plan the village, direct the building and watch thousands of workers on screen, in real time.
Or not: You may be forced to watch them die of exhaustion.
Which is all caused by your incapacity of planning the biggest project on earth.
So rise to the occasion, and get that thing built, stone by stone!
Game Play
Your first challenge, should you accept it, is to decipher the hieroglyphic User Interface.
Yes, that's right, the UI uses genuine ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
But if you want, you can cheat, and enable transcription into English.
You will need to build a food supply with farms and bakeries, and provide shelter for the workers.
And you will also need to hire your labour force.
Be careful though: do not hire more than you can feed and shelter: they may die if you fail to do so.
Oh, and don't run out of silver either. It is what buys you buildings and labour.
Labour
You will need to hire:
- Irrigation Workers
- Farmers
- Household Servants
- Builders
All of these workers will go about their lives autonomously, in one massive and unparalleled crowd simulation that can grow into a force of thousands of workers.
But for the impatient Imhoteps among you: you can speed things along by picking up individual workers and place them back anywhere in the world.
Buildings
- Farms are the backbone of your civilization. They require irrigation, and provide grain.
- Bakeries will turn grain into food.
- Tax offices will take the surplus food and provide the project with much needed silver.
- Huts are required to shelter your workers when they become exhausted. Food is distributed to them.
Warning
This game uses the latest AVX CPU technology to simulate the crowd.
This means you need a recent computer to run this game.
Intel Sandy Bridge or newer, or AMD Bulldozer or newer.
Check your CPU first for AVX support, before buying. Thank you!
(It also requires an up-to-date OpenGL driver -- v3.2 or higher.)

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Imhotep, Pyramid Builder is a building management game where players construct pyramids while balancing worker allocation, food production, and limited buildable terrain, with most praising the economic systems, realistic graphics, and Egyptian theming but expressing frustration with the uneven terrain limiting placement options and the overall brevity of the experience. Players recommend enabling the hieroglyph translation feature for clarity and note the game delivers what is advertised, though some feel the challenge is limited and the content sparse for the playtime involved.
This game was exactly as described on the store page/video. I found it fun for the 2 hours or so I spent building my pyramid, and I could see myself playing it again in the future if new features were added or changes were made. The cats that appeared around the workers were interesting. It was enjoyable managing the balance between food production workers and the amount of houses for builders that they could sustain. The land surface is not flat and therefore provides a challenge as to where to place buildings and fields as usable spots are limited. The game provides the option to translate the hieroglyphs when you hover over the button, and I recommend leaving that turned on because the game does no make much sense otherwise. The developer has made an official guide available which is findable through the main options menu. This guide explains to you the mechanics of the game and its workers and is essential to read unless you enjoy muddling through and figuring things out for yourself. Overall, I recommend this game to people who enjoy cats, city building, and management games and want to waste a couple of hours staring at little workers do their silly moving animation.6 found this helpful
its a great game, having an army of slaves to build stuff for your godness is awesome! graphisms are very raealistic and the economy side of the game is very well made (+1 for egyptian numbers) so is it a good game? yes imhotep, imothep2 found this helpful
I kind of like the idea of the game , but the biggest problem I have is that YOU CAN'T FLATTEN THE TERRAIN !!!!!!! Seriously game creator , you have this huge map , and you can't build ♥♥♥♥ anywhere because the terrain is so uneven !!! You need either a flat world , or the ability to equalize it !!! Get programming.2 found this helpful
Work like an Egyptian. Make your Egyptians harvest wheat, build a bakery and keep building things until you make the pyramids. There are cats all over the place too because Egypt? https://youtu.be/t1yoy8KD-lc1 found this helpful
