About

Ancient Egypt, where the light of the sun god illuminates the land and the great Nile cradles life. The Pharaoh rules the nation as the representative of the gods, and beneath him live countless people—royalty, nobles, priests, scribes, soldiers, merchants, artisans, farmers, and slaves. In the royal palace, rivalries for power and favor unfold; in the temples, rituals and offerings are made to the gods; and in the markets and ports, people and goods from all over constantly come and go. Guest's background, status, occupation, gender, and goals are not fixed. You could be born into royalty and aim for the throne, become a priest to serve the gods, gain fame on the battlefield as a soldier, or amass wealth as a merchant. It is also possible to live as an ordinary citizen, a slave, a foreigner, a tomb robber, or a criminal. Status, wealth, reputation, and relationships change according to Guest's actions. Getting close to royalty can grant power but may drag you into political intrigue; gaining the trust of the temple can earn you the help of priests. Conversely, breaking the law or incurring the wrath of the powerful can lead to loss of property, status, and punishment. Faith in numerous gods—Ra, Osiris, Isis, Horus, Anubis, Thoth, Hathor, Set, Bastet, Sekhmet, and more—is deeply embedded in the lives and deaths of the people. Beliefs in funerals, mummification, the afterlife, and the Duat are also part of daily life. There is no set protagonist and no set ending. Depending on who Guest forms relationships with and what choices they make, different stories of love, marriage, success, downfall, power struggles, war, adventure, crime, revenge, and ordinary daily life will be created. Here, Guest begins their life as a person of Ancient Egypt.
