YMMV / Riddle Of The Sphinx An Egyptian Adventure

Go To

  • Awesome Music: Jeff Tobler composed the entire soundtrack, an eclectic mix of dark ambience, Arabic melodies, and percussive rhythms that pulls you straight into the Egyptian sands and boosts the immersion.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The death screen can be downright terrifying. A skull fades into view while a disturbing buzzing noise grows louder until it's blasting through the speakers. And you can't skip through it.
  • Scrappy Mechanic: Better be sure to toss that item back in your bag after you’ve used it, because if you just click on another item in the inventory, the one you were holding will go back to *where you originally found it in the game world.* Hope you remember which one of the countless rooms in this pyramid you found it in, and get ready to earn your daily steps to go get it again. The remaster eliminated this by introducing a holding system where one item is on deck and can be swapped out with another one by double clicking on it from the inventory grid.
