[@cobracommander6522]

Awesome game and I agree I would love to see more horror games about Ancient Egypt so much unused potential for horror games same with the Aztecs and Mayans.

[@chavamara]

Agreed, but the problem with the Aztecs and Mayans is that everyone focuses too much on the human sacrifice part. If they could find a way to do a horror game that wasn't just about that, I'd be so in!

[@mary_anntalbot5670]

That queen jump scare, wide awake now, great game

[@shadowjudge921]

For me it was the queen's howling after opening her husband's sarcophagus. That actually sent a chill through me.

[@erbear0403]

yeah ummm totally threw my phone at that one scare. JEEZ!!!

[@Offensive_Username]

Great? It's completely linear. Can't even call this a game.

[@shadowjudge921]

@@Offensive_Username Not every game has to be open world you know. And most indie horror games are very linear because they're not trying to let you explore. They're trying to tell a dark and creepy story.

[@rustyshackleford7200]

@@shadowjudge921 the game had its creepy moments, sadly they had to use some cheap jumpscares to keep it going.

[@madspeterrommedahl4679]

That Queen jumpscare worked so well due to the game so obviously baiting you into thinking something will happen with her corpse, so once it doesn't, you are unprepared when the scare comes from a completely different direction. Brilliant bait-and-switch.

[@Slaughter_Hill]

It actually doesn’t work because she looks awful and borderline hilarious

[@Wolfbane382]

The photos you take and the ghostly images that show up honestly remind me of the ghost photos you take in Fatal Frame.

[@FoxLightstep]

56:35 That is irrefutably the best reaction I've ever seen from you with a jump scare. Made my night to see that! And yes, there SHOULD be more Egypt based horror games.

[@tremapar]

As soon as it happened the first time, I was positively itching to see it in the postgame montage. And boy did that not disappoint

[@FoxLightstep]

@tremapar same here! I've watched this game with only 1 other person so far and that jump scare spot got that guy to literally shriek and lose his headphones. I was tempted to fast forward to the end just to see it immediately.

[@SlamsMaloney]

Scared the shit out of me too! Maybe the best jumpscare in any of his playthroughs. Holy heck!

[@Write-or-Wrong]

I don't know what I love better: Chris frantically taking pictures even when he's jumpscared, or the main character's off-the-chart standards for what he deems to be "good enough" for a photograph 😂

[@Scriptor13]

What a beautiful, atmospheric game! I love the way the light glints off of anything metallic--like the gold overlay on the Canopic jars. The text is well-written. There are a few good jump scares, and even a puzzle. Imo, it's especially cool that the game is based on the concept of Amenti. I agree, ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Persia--even mythological settings like Atlantis or Mt. Olympus--are woefully underused for horror games. Btw, your knowledge of Egyptian deities and symbology makes me happy, Chris. Of course, the curriculum in British schools is (or was) wonderfully well-rounded. Maybe one day humanity will find out, "who ordered the donuts?!" 🤣

[@BASSOSOVIETICO1987]

I also think some of them were Oreo's. Coincidence?

[@JordanJMyers]

I remember in Elementary school our Art teacher taught us hieroglyphics. Besides that there wasn't much more Egyptian stuff minus what you learned in History classes here and there. Agree wish they taught more. Ancient Roman times is my fav but Ancient Egypt is a close 2nd.

[@shadowjudge921]

I have had just about enough of the YT algorithm censoring my comments and forcing me to rewrite them. Anyone who orders donuts and leaves out Bismarks is a heathen! You know, come to think of it, I would actually love to see a horror game set on Mt. Olympus. That could be a lot of fun. You get to literally walk in the Palace of the Gods, but it's all faded and crumbling. Looking down on the world of mortals through the clouds. As for the plot, maybe one of the gods or goddesses went insane and destroyed the rest. Now he or she wanders through the ancient abode, a twisted, withered shadow of their former glory.

[@Laura_5757]

This was a gorgeous game! And the big jump scare toward the end that got Chris got me so hard as well. Scriptor, have you ever played The Talos Principle? It’s not horror but has some amazing visuals including a beautiful Egyptian night similar to what was shown in this game (sans the donut-loving aliens, naturally)

[@BASSOSOVIETICO1987]

Setting is so wondeful! This is so refreshing after seeing so many games, even a very good, located in the same asset buildings. Just polishing the details by the Devs looks really well and jumpscares are worth jumping. It was a long time I saw Chris in such a surprised state.

[@mrlight0133]

Saw this game on steam earlier today and told my wife this would be a game I would like to see Chris play 😄

[@Ak4neh]

That was a surprisingly cool game !! You're definitely right, ancient egypt as a theme isn't used enough in horror games. It's such a fascinating theme... Kinda sad the game took the aliens route personally, but they did great with it and the jumpscares are solid. The style and sounds when you take pictures really feel like Fatal Frame games tho haha

[@Captain_Ford]

I want to give props to the developer for a moment. I've been watching you play their games since the graveyard one, and while their storytelling needs some improvement, they CLEARLY have a knack for generating spooky atmospheres, and their dev skills have notably improved with each release. Plus, the ambition on display - featuring a game in an Egyptian ruin - tells me they've got some serious passion for the craft. A tip of the hat to the developer! We will be watching your career with great interest!

[@Angua-tu3ot]

I love everything about ancient Egypt. The people actually did the building and that is what fascinates me the most. But this was very cool and I enjoyed you playing it. You are just the best! 💜!

[@ΠαναγιωτηςΑγγελ]

Me too,and ancient times in general

[@andreadiatene]

This game has great atmosphere! It captures the claustrophobic feeling very well. I hope we get to see more often games with Ancient Egypt themes. Even better if we could also get one with a soundtrack by Nile!

[@TheKevphil]

Excellent game, with some big-time jump-scares! And guess what--? It's beautiful! A bit dark in places, but plenty of pixels to show us the great environments in detail. That one jump-scare must rank among the all-time greatest! I was actually hit by the one right before, as well. Thanks, Chris!

[@anniemcguire2359]

Oh, man! I should know better than to start one of Chris' walkthroughs during lunch. I can't take my eyes off the game. Wow! Wow! Wow! I'm about halfway through watching (self-discipline is finally taking over), and I nearly splurted my coffee on the screen. Great jumpscare! Be back later; I so hope this is part of a dev series.

[@cozybee]

Hopefully we'll get an influx of Egyptian themed horror games this year like we got lighthouse ones a few years ago lol. This was a fun ride!

[@miroslavzima8856]

Damn, this game looks gorgeous! That jumpscare was sooo evil and sooo good! But I´ve spilled my drink on my lap x(

[@thewisepowerchair2369]

I like horror games where you are exploring and finding out what is going on through notes; this game is certainly different. I did feel that the jumpscares were not part of the story, no threat came from them, or from anything else, really. They were for jumpscare effect, which was good. I jumped. I enjoyed watching this. Thanks for posting, CJU.

[@pastashrimp]

This game was stunning and I could have easily watched x3 more hours of it. Lovely. Honestly, it could stand alone without the alien tie-in. The Egyptology aspect was stimulating enough. Also I do hope the devs remember that Ancient Egpytians likely did not look like the male Wii Fit instructor. Bravo!

[@Palezdreaming]

I absolutely loved this. Some amazing scares, oooft the queen was so scary and so well done! Absolutely beautiful game, they really went all out to make it look legit. Stunning and scary, brilliant duo!

I think this game should've been titled "How To Commit Acts That Would Get You Disappeared By Egypt's Government And Have Your Home Country Completely Disavow You". Still entertaining, though.

[@CJxLuvly]

Ancient Egypt definitely has a place in my heart and this game did not disappoint one bit! It makes me think of the movie and book Queen of the Damned by Ann Rice. It has many nods to ancient Egypt but includes vampires and it's an all time favorite movie of mine especially because Akasha the queen is played by Aaliyah (RIP 💕) and she was not only gorgeous like the queen in this game but so fierce and powerful. I know the movie didn't do the books justice but it's still visually stunning and freaking AALIYAH is in it as well as some amazing actors. I would love that storyline to be turned into an ancient Egyptian based game! I think it could be a fantastic horror game especially with vampires being involved. If you haven't seen the movie or read the books please do they're very good and apart of the same storyline of Interview With a Vampire 💕

[@DevenCeriotti]

I REALLY LIKED THIS GAME.. IT WAS GREAT.. THE SETTING THE MONSTERS ALL SO WELL DONE

1:45 I always had a massive soft spot for Curse: The Eye Of Isis on PS2. Made great use of the Egyptian folk-lore, and the museum setting was cool as hell too. Definitely an under-utilized motif!

[@MatthewPrisco-o2s]

This one is pretty unique. I actually have a degree in anthropology from the University of Central Florida and specifically took a class on life and death in ancient Egypt. Fictitious characters and certain unrealistic elements aside, they did a good job creating something believable. I'm also surprised that Chris didn't say, "This is a good-looking game," because it was. Ultimately this was another great video from CJU. And that jumpscare? Definitely one for the 2025 highlight reel 😂 His videos always make my day. He really is tomb-much sometimes.

Wonderfull game and great look of it. Sad that taking pictures besides the quest objects is not possible. Maybe a little indicator in bottom right popping up of an Eye of Osiris could show it is important or not.

CJ, you mentioned there not being many Egyptian horror games. But if you ever had the chance with some friends, Forewarned is a pretty decent one. It's sorta phasmophobia style with the ability to put evil spirits to rest. Been playing it a few years and it's a blast.
