Description
About This Game
Gamble of Gods is an Isometric Shooter with exploration, puzzles and a cartoon
aesthetic whose strong point is the frantic action and an immersive and funny
narrative. The player will use the different abilities granted by the gods
to make his way between enemies, and make it
through the various traps and puzzles that comprise the pyramid.
Each year, while the mortal world is oblivious to it, the gods of ancient
civilizations celebrate a reality show in which a champion, chosen at random
from among humans, must pass a series of tests without even being aware of
participating in a Divine Reality Show.
Peter Buttinson, an insignificant security guard, frustrated with his work at the
Natural History Museum in London, has been awarded the golden ticket in a box of
cereals, and the prize is to visit the Great Pyramid of Egypt.
Upon reaching the pyramid he discovers Anubis and Bastet, in charge of organizing
the tournament. They present him with the challenge of crossing the pyramid and
reaching the deepest part of it, and in return, they will grant him the wish he wants.
Without informing him that he is really going to be a simple puppet in the scheme
they have set up. Peter, who dreams of being a true adventurer, accepts the challenge
without hesitation.
Although the two gods had worked out this plan together, they disagreed on only one
thing: Bastet believed that it was perfectly possible for a human to succeed in
crossing the entire pyramid, while Anubis believed otherwise. So, Bastet will help
Peter by giving him a powerful bracelet that he can use to invoke some of the powers
of the goddess. On the contrary, Anubis will try by all means to prevent Peter from
successfully completing the tests and leaving the Great Pyramid.
Will he be able to reach a place on the podium of heroes?
