About the Game


FOREWARNED is a 1-4 player co-op survival horror game where you and your friends embark on an expedition into haunted ancient Egyptian tombs. Investigate phenomena, collect treasure, discover lore, survive danger, and banish the evil that lurks within.


GEAR UP AND DELVE DEEP

Play solo, with a group of friends, or find a public lobby online. Take advantage of every tool at your disposal to identify the name of the mummy haunting the ruins and enter the tomb's inner chamber. Retrieve the sacred relic, along with any other treasure you find along the way.

SURVIVE THE HORRORS WITHIN

The mummies that haunt these tombs, also known as the cursed Mejai, will physically manifest in an attempt to prevent your escape. Each Mejai possesses unique characteristics and abilities. Overcome their strengths and exploit their weaknesses to escape with your life.

EXPLORE PROCEDURALLY GENERATED TOMBS

Choose from twelve unique maps set in vividly detailed and rich environments across the Sahara. Each map type possesses a distinct procedurally generated ancient Egyptian tomb that has nearly infinite layout possibilities so that no two playthroughs are ever the same, each containing its own creatures, traps, puzzles, and other unique features to discover.

BANISH THE EVIL

The ancient texts suggest there's a way to banish the evil that haunts these ruins by performing a ritual in the tomb's lowest level. Will you give in to greed and delve deeper into the darkness to put an end to the curse and find treasure of unparalleled worth, or will you be content leaving with your life?

DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

When you die, you will have the option to return as a servant of the Mejai. Will you hold on to a semblance of your former self and help the remaining survivors, or demonstrate loyalty to your new master? Experience unique afterlife mechanics and return as a mummy.
