Lair of Anubis

Trash. Sorry but the English is not good. Someone translated this almost 1-to-1 from some other language. There is text, and then you have to sit through a HORRIFYINGLY LOUD AND ANNOYING cut-scene showing you what you just read. You are supposedly an Archaeologist, but you are so stupid that you do not have a compass or a map. Anytime I wandered away from the crashed car, text appeared telling me to go back. I am an adult with limited playtime. Make your game do something. I do not have hours to spend waiting next to a crashed car for your game to decide what I'm supposed to do.

Honestly this was a neat enough rainy Sunday afternoon game. Its not too long to get both endings done and there is some neat ideas here, I did notice the texture quality was a bit uneven at times and there could have been a bit more time spent in the pyramid before "they" are more introduced but generally for the price and the dev's second game. Id rate this one.

Zemblanity was a blast so I bought this one. Unfortunately, it's rather ugly, glitchy, buggy, loud and obnoxious. Also, I've had C64 games that could load faster.

Lair of Anubis, very nicely situated horror game. Whole time player is in a constant stress on what is going to jump on you, I had a goose bump most of the time. Once you are trying to solve the puzzle, there is a surprise for you, that you would not expect. There is a huge progress from the previous game, it is visible how much more effort Author has added. AI is a very nice addition which makes this game even better. Let's hope there is more to come in the future. Better of course.

What can happend in pyramid? Try it and you can chose your destiny :)

Good game, quite scary, atmospheric and good story.

You cant see more than a short distance in front of you. No settings options will change this. Maps have lots of sharp turns, no good landmarks and are just a maze. Finding all the items you need to get through is just trial and error, All enemies instakill and do not have good indicators of their presence. They make noise, but you hear it on half the map making the enemy sounds unreliable for knowing where the enemy is. Everything is so dark you can not see them until you have almost no time to react. The game also does not explain hardly anything. This game has a lot of cool elements in it I like. I like the idea of a horror game that takes you in the pyramids. The trippy parts of the game are fun to look at. But the frustrating level design keeps this game from being good.
