The verdict
A Phasmophobia-style co-op tomb-raiding horror with mummies, puzzles and a banishment boss fight. Great with friends; skip it if you'll play solo or rely on public lobbies.
Great for
Friend groups (especially VR) who like Phasmophobia-style evidence hunting with an Egyptian twist
Main risk
No public lobbies and connection problems leave you with no one to play with, and the loop gets repetitive
What players love
Great fun with friends
Mentioned in ~1 in 3 positive reviews
“Even though the gameplay loop is a bit repetitive the companionship in the crypts is what makes this game truly special.”
