Tips
  • Gameplay blends first-person shooter, RPG, and survival horror elements.
  • Conversations with dead individuals provide puzzle clues, monster strategies, and story information. Use keywords to get responses.
  • Combat requires careful strategy; monsters respawn, ammo is scarce, and players move at similar speeds to enemies.
  • Health can only be regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable) or rare blue potions.
  • Blue potions are crucial for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
  • Players start with only a flashlight and survival knife; other weapons and items are found throughout the pyramid.
  • Items grant points, with every two points awarding one health point.
  • Crystals have special powers but shatter after multiple uses, except for the unlimited-use yellow crystal for conversations.
  • Potions offer temporary buffs like invincibility or slow-motion.
  • Miscellaneous items are key to solving puzzles.
  • Treasures increase score and health.
