An adventure detective game set amid the deserts and ruins of early 20th-century Egypt, drawing on cosmic-horror themes. Players follow the trail of a vanished expedition, visiting towns and excavation sites, questioning locals, and piecing together clues. Gameplay centers on exploration, dialogue, and deduction: talk to multiple characters on different topics using a nonlinear communication system, search locations, and carry out digs to uncover evidence. Player choices and inferences determine how the interactive story unfolds and which outcomes become available.
