About the Game

Escape The Pyramid is an action-horror game having its core based on sound cues.

GAMEPLAY FEATURES

  • Procedurally generated pyramid rooms means each playthrough is different and it makes it impossible to find, remember and reuse a path for the next playthrough.

  • Sound Cues will guide you to the exit. Your footsteps will make different sounds based on the surface you step on, helping you decide whether or not it's worth going further or taking a different path. You will occasionally get close or even step on different kinds of lethal or non-lethal traps.

STORY

After an unusual sandstorm, a sand dune was swept and it revealed this large pyramid. The locals from the nearby village do not seem to know about its origin or even its existence.

The explorer within you is immediately drawn to its massive presence... as well as to the potential findings inside it. In a rush, you grab nothing but a torch and head towards the pyramid.

The main entrance will certainly be every other explorer's choice, but you want to get ahead. Behind the pyramid, you enter through a cracked open block and after a couple of dropdowns, you end up in the most distant rooms from the main entrance.

You found the deepest room inside the pyramid full of gold and other priceless artifacts. However it seems that an ancient danger is now awake.

Find the exit before it's too late.
