When your tour bus crashes into a pyramid, and you find yourself surrounded by mummies with nothing but your trusty camera, what will you do?

What happens when a hapless tour group stumbles into a long forgotten pyramid? Mummies happen. A lot of them. Run From Mummies is a top-down 2D adventure for 1-4 tourists, coming soon to PC, Mac, and Steam Deck!
Kickstarter and Demo coming Sept 1st:
Scarabs are no good pests. They like to tickle you, but sometimes it hurts! Crank up your camera's flash and take their picture - they’ll scurry back into their little hiding places!
Jump in on the Run From Mummies Kickstarter, which launches on September 1st:
Those pesky mummies sure do hate flash photography! But watch out, your flash does nothing when they’re covering their eyes. Great opportunity to run!

🎙️ We're looking for paid VO! 🎙️
The hand drawn cutscenes in Run From Mummies are looking great, but they're missing something really important... your voice!
We have 3 main characters with roughly 100 lines each that we need YOUR talent for, along with a few other minor roles!
This is bunk! We hired 14 INCREDIBLE voice actors and a bomb voice director for our game... NO WAY would we ever use AI, it was just too awesome of an experience.
We pledge to never use AI voices for any of our games. Full stop.
Hopefully devs do the same.
SAG-AFTRA has struck a deal with AI startup Narrativ for audio voice replicas in digital advertising that the union asserts sets "a new standard" for ethical use of the technology and also makes it easy for performers to give consent and get paid.
Jasvir's tripod camera is activated remotely, letting her take photos of mummies from afar... but sometimes she likes to jump in and pose with them!
Kickstarter and Demo coming September 1st
Is your tour blocked by some mysterious white crystals? Find a nearby Lotus Flower and take a picture. Your camera's flash will destroy the priceless artifact, setting off a chain reaction that will cause nearby crystals to explode! Tour on!

Your tours will take you to some unexpected places... but never give up a good photo opportunity!
