About this game

It’s the 1920s. Leo Parker, renowned archaeologist and explorer, is in Giza working on an excavation for the British crown. Soon to head home, Leo gets wind of the discovery of a new tomb.

Ratings and reviews

beautiful graphics, the puzzles can be a bit tricky at times. didn't play the whole game, after seeing that there's a paywall (and im not a very avid fans of puzzle games). nonetheless, it's enjoyable, encountered no ads, and visually pleasing. maybe ill come back to it someday, and hopefully even buy it.

The game itself is good, but after playing for a few minutes, it asks you to pay to play the full version. If I knew it from the beginning I wouldn't play and I think it's a cheap trick (it should be said from the beginning.) Also when changing scenes or zooming on an object, it doesn't instantly navigate which is not the best user experience.

Might be good, might be not. No way to know, because the "try before you buy" segment is too short, having less than 2.5 puzzles, ant some fragment collecting with no indication of why, how many, if there's more left, snd that's it. Definitely not enough to warrant buying.
