Our take on Path of Ra
The murder mystery and Egyptian presentation receive prominent attention, while the hands-on play centers on moving and rotating tiles across mural layouts. The experience therefore pairs a story frame with a focused puzzle format.
What is Path of Ra?
Guide the spirit of a Pharaoh, reincarnated as a hieroglyph on his tomb walls, through more than 60 levels.
Move and rotate slabs to rearrange the murals, create a path, and collect fragments of his heart. The game presents the circumstances of his death and asks players to uncover the identity of his murderer. Hand-crafted cinematics accompany the journey and reveal parts of his story. Swipe controls are used to move and rotate the tiles. Each new painting provides another challenge, while music and soundscapes create a setting inspired by ancient Egypt. Headphones are recommended for the intended audio experience.
