Description
About This Game
Escape the ancient ruins of Gilgamesh
Deep underground slumbers an ancient Sumerian palace, full of traps, dangers, and ancient forgotten powers. An interconnected labyrinth that doesn't seem to want you to leave. And you, an archeology student who had more curiosity than sense, found yourself stuck within, along with your friends.
Will you be the first to escape this place with your life? Or will it devour you, like it has so many others?
Discover forgotten secrets
It is the ruins themselves that keep you trapped, with their cryptic contraptions and ineffable magics. But do not despair: there is the promise that if you can learn what this place wants to teach you, if you can master its lessons, then you will find your way out.
And then there is another layer to it, as you soon start to realize you aren't the first ones to step foot here, and what they left behind might help you on your journey.
So grab your camera, grab your journal, grab your lantern. Take notes, take photos, think hard. You must figure out how to flee.
Save your friends. Or save yourself.
You are not the only one trapped, and the palace offers no assurance that you will all make it out. These devious contraptions seem to ask you: What are you willing to sacrifice?
