Our take on Run From Mummies
The focus on brief chase sequences gives each level a clear, repeatable structure, but leaves less room for slow exploration or extended encounters. Charging the camera also creates a built-in trade-off: stronger attacks require standing still while mummies approach.
What is Run From Mummies?
Run through a pyramid as a tourist whose camera is the main defense against mummies, scarabs, traps, and other hazards.
Holding the charge increases the flash’s strength, but staying still gives pursuing enemies time to close in. Players can use the environment to trap or destroy threats, with new enemy types and hazards appearing every few levels. The game includes 112 levels, each lasting 2–5 minutes, with more than 20 hours of first-playthrough content. Unlockable characters include a rollerblader and a drone operator, each with different abilities, movement, and cameras. Solo play covers the full campaign, while local or Steam Remote Play multiplayer supports up to 4 players. Time attack and adjustable difficulty modes are also included.
