About the Game

STORY

Walk the line between benevolent king and hated husband. 

Set in the peaceful palace of Pharaoh Horem, this choice-driven visual novel places you directly in a world where morality is watched, judged, and remembered. Every decision you make carries weight, and the consequences may follow you to the scales of judgement. 

Your goal is to do Egypt right, and stay in Ma'at's good graces, as she is the goddess of truth and justice. 

Navigate political intrigue, personal relationships, and ethical dilemmas inspired by Ancient Egyptian law, philosophy, and myth. Will you act with honor and keep the peace? Will you uphold the will of the gods?? Will you help your children with their history lessons???

FEATURES

  • Authentic Ancient Egyptian setting inspired by history and myth. 

  • Branching narrative shaped by moral and familial choices.

  • Hidden morality system that influences Ma'at's presence.

  • Multiple endings based on the path you walk and the lines you cross.

  • Investigate criminal acts as pharaoh.

  • Citizens attempting to lie about: theft, murder, fraud, and desecration of the dead.

  • Historical anecdotes about gods, burials, and even flowers.  

  • The exposed shoulders of your harem.

Are there perfect choices or only consequences? If you fail your heart may get eaten by Amut, but hey what's the chance of that happening right?
