Immerse yourself into the Giza Sphinx and Great Pyramid — one of the last seven wonders of the ancient world — and solve a Riddle of megalithic proportions.

Do not buy this game. First off, the navigation is so badly done you can miss entire puzzles or areas unless you already know to look for them -by in game logic or by looking it up- and get vindictive about it, and it also renders actually solving any mazes useless, because you can't actually see where you are going or tell if you have turned or how far you have stepped. This is not how to do point and click. They changed puzzles for the new addition and in doing so broke at least one of them for certain. It's culturally offensive and the pop psychology in it is harmful, but worst of all in a puzzle game, the actual puzzle(s) are broken and thus the solutions become random and arbitrary when you can actually solve them at all. I do not mean they are challenging, I mean the information or object are missing from the game. The game is full of typos seemingly unrelated to any puzzle solution, grammatical errors even in spoken files and even what has broken one of the puzzles in the later addition seems to have been a typo where a digit is off by one. I'm offended it was priced at 40$ and that you can't know how broken the game is until you've played it too long to get a refund, becaus…1 found this helpful
Longtime favorite game. Thank you for creating an enhanced edition and for adding it to steam! I love the puzzles in this game, and the environment is beautiful. Truly a pleasure and a joy to play. The last time I played- I was in middle school :) Still just as fun now- and I really enjoy the steam achievements. Hope to see the Omega Stone rereleased one day!
I got this game remembering playing parts of it as a kid. The puzzles are still just as difficult as I clearly didn't remember any of them and had a blast playing this with my wife. I recommend this if you like a challenge. "RIDDLE OF THE SPHINX!'' heh
Totally immersive great puzzles
game
This game should be recommended for anyone who likes Myst. I did not expect the game to be so much like a Myst game. I love Myst games, but when I watched the trailer or played the first hour of the game I did not have the impression that the game was anything like Myst. Still, after continuing to play and getting deeper into the pyramid the game started to act and feel more like a Myst game. The game has hidden passages, hidden switches, strange devices to operate, rotating pillars, rotating corridors, telescopes and a labyrinth. The puzzles were fun to solve. You don’t need to be a fan of Myst to like this game. The puzzles were not hard to solve but still it takes a long time to finish the game because navigating through the environments is a slow process. It is easy to overlook something.
