What is Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy?
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is a third-person action-adventure inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology.
Sphinx travels between worlds through magical portals while seeking Egypt's stolen crowns and opposing Set. Sphinx uses agility, special powers, combat skills, and capture beetles that store enemy abilities for later use. The Mummy can be controlled when combat skills are not needed, using stealth and unusual actions to avoid enemies, solve puzzles, and sabotage plans. The setting includes mythical monsters, perilous traps, villages, allies, and civilizations with different histories. Its story follows the remains of an ancient empire that once connected several worlds through Solar Disc portals.
