- News from multiplayer - 2 May 2021
Hello everyone, for a long time it was quiet in the venerable pyramid and one could get the impression that it is slowly but steadily being buried by the sand of eternity. But something is happening deep in the catacombs and slowly the secrets are emerging. This artifact has been recovered and the hardworking Egyptologists are still busy deciphering the hieroglyphs. What have they discovered so far? Two to four fearless archeologists examine the maze together but also in competition Unlike the solo adventure there is only one floor to explore Weapons are dangerous, not only for the guards of the pyramid Every adventure takes several rounds and time is limited As soon as the explorers have deciphered more of the thousand-year-old texts, they will publish them here. See you soon o/
