Great Ancient Egypt Myst-like adventure
I found this adventure very enjoyable. The game is situated in present times, where you get to explore the ancient Pyramids of Giza. The initial areas are (to my knowledge) fairly faithful recreations of the real Sphinx and Great Pyramid, and additionally the game includes many interesting fictional locations within this complex. Compelling aspects of this game are exploring the Ancient Egyptian setting with its many interesting environments and locations, the music, and the overall atmosphere. And I also liked how it meshes with the real-world Giza complex. Almost all of the puzzles in this game consist in finding the key or combination for some kind of lock. You will have to find items and/or clues which are typically scattered, and "putting them together" gives you the key or combination for the next lock. So don't expect math or logic puzzles, or the kind of puzzles where you have to figure out some system or machine. That said, I found the puzzles enjoyable and well-designed. There is a lot of variety in the shape and form that clues take. Just be prepared for a lot of "pixel hunting" in Myst-like environments. Often, clues and items are well-hidden, so you have to carefully explore every nook and cranny (the couple of times I got stuck was because I had missed some nook). All in all, I don't think the game is particularly difficult and can be solved with patience, careful exploration and observation, and note-taking (the in-game camera is also very handy).

Wish I could undo my purchase - not good
It begins with a long narrative, which is completely lacking of actual instructions about gameplay. Standard WASD controls are gone, replaced with a directional click. From the very first moment I was given control of my character, I clicked inside the helicopter thinking I could inspect it, but to my surprise my character got inside and was flown to another location. No way to stop it - just had to let it play out... then do it again to get back to the starting point. Gameplay is horrible. Enter the tent and as you turn to the side, you see the table with the pot of stew. Click to the side again and you see the table with the pot of stew. That's right, the same location but in two screens. You can take pictures of pages of books, but for some reason you can't take the book. It's a tedious process taking pictures, because nothing separates important pages from unimportant pages, so basically you need to take pictures of all of the pages. The hint system is buried within another screen, so it's not at all dynamic - it's an interruption in gameplay to use the hints. In short, gameplay is really bad, the storyline seems to be broken into too many tiny pieces, and the graphics are weird. I purchased the entire deluxe version with all the extras. Really wish I hadn't. The game is unplayable by today's standards.

Is this really from 2021?
It plays like Myst the first time in 1993 when something like this was new ... In 2021 it feels just awful clumsy and static. The game starts with a serious voice telling a whole bunch of uninteresting stuff while you may look at a picture of the Sphinx at night. After 3 minutes or so you may watch a static description of the interface until a voice rumbles "THE RIDDLE OF THE SPHINX" while you watch the games logo. After that you find yourself in the desert without WASD, rotating through a boring scene with some tents ... It reminds me of something like the Stone Age of Gaming and I uninstalled it after five more minutes.
