An Actor embarking on the ultimate role
You play the Actor, who - after accepting a minor role in an Ancient Egyptian-themed film - became bedazzled by that civilization and a modern devotee of the pantheon of Ancient Egyptian gods - aka the Netjeru!
Driven by gnosis
The Actor is driven by an epiphany and after an instruction by the god Djehuti (Thoth) embarks upon writing The Book Of The Divine Insects - a sacred text of the ancients that was lost to antiquity.
The Book will not only bring about the resurgence of little known gods from the Ancient Kemetic pantheon but serves to bestow upon you immortality itself!
Amulets, wands and magick underwear
You're going to need help navigating your way through earth, sky, and Duat on your quest, so amulets, bling, wands and private garments are necessary to collect and master
A breathtaking landscape of new worlds and dimensions
A strange urban cemetery, an underground soul processing plant, a mausoleum, a temple on the moon, a museum of living praying mantises - how many thrilling environments can you endure?
The unique world that you become immersed in is created exclusively from the visionary paintings and art of Australian artist Setken.
Introducing the Netjeru
The gods of Ancient Egypt need no introduction - but They are getting a re-introduction in this game!
Who better to do so than someone who actually lives and breathes these gods as part of their daily practice and study of the ancient texts?!
Meet new gods, discover new things about old ones, and marvel at Their splendour as They seamlessly participate in our modern world.
