Anubis and the Buried Bone
is a platforming game which was set to be released in 2017, but it had since been cancelled. However, demos for the game do still exist. The game is set in Ancient Egyptian times, with you playing as Anubis. The game's style is similar to that of an MSX gamenote . There currently are two versions: a Safe For Work version and a Not Safe for Work version, the latter of which has a few... interesting scenes added.
Please list tropes only from the SFW version.
Tropes relating to Anubis and the Buried Bone:note
- Cute Slime Mook: One of the common enemies is a slime blob with a smiling face.
- Dem Bones: Walking skeletons are a recurring enemy type.
- Depth Perplexion: In this 2D game, the wasps can bypass walls by flying on a layer in front of them.
- Funny Animal: You play as a bipedal talking canine, specifically an Anubian jackal, with various other characters being similarly anthropomorphic animals.
- Going Through the Motions: Anubis' emote in the game changes depending on what's happening. (Holding his breath underwater, being really hurt on low health)
-
Nintendo Hard: Between your attack being short ranged, having low health (unless you find items that extend it), enemies hurting, and your weapon not hurting much, this game is really hard. - Retraux: The game is styled similarly to an MSX game, with the best example being The Treasure of Usas.
- Shout-Out: The Annoying Dog from Undertale shows up at one point.
