›Story
"Pyramids are the tombs of the pharaohs". This is what most people believe. But more and more studies raise doubts about this thesis. Scientists found indications for ancient Egypt being far more technologized than we can imagine. Hourglass is set in a scenario in which those assumptions are actually true..
You will play as Aywa, a young adventurer who is travelling to Egypt to find her missing father - an archaeologist, who never returned from his latest expedition.
Your journey leads you to a remote temple where you encounter undiscovered Egyptian technologies and portals to a foreign world.
Only by unraveling the secrets of these long lost technologies, you are able to solve all puzzles on your quest and eventually find your father.
