Amenti

Amenti is a horror exploration game that blends ancient history with speculative mystery. Set deep beneath the sands of Egypt, you take on the role of a researcher who enters a newly unearthed tomb long thought to be myth. Inside, remnants of a forgotten dynasty lie untouched for millennia—but something else waits in the darkness. As you document artifacts and unravel long-lost secrets, the tomb itself begins to shift around you, blurring the line between science and something far older.

Exploration Through Observation

The gameplay in Amenti centers around environmental exploration and artifact documentation. Armed with a flashlight, camera, and journal, players must navigate claustrophobic corridors, unstable chambers, and sealed vaults. The tomb is not linear—its paths branch and loop, forcing players to piece together historical context to find their way. Each chamber tells part of a larger story, hidden in faded symbols, forgotten devices, or strange carvings that suggest something beyond human.

The Camera as a Tool and a Warning

Your camera isn’t just for documentation—it becomes the lens through which unseen horrors begin to appear. Early photos show subtle changes: markings not visible to the naked eye, ghostly silhouettes in the distance. As the player advances deeper into the tomb, reality begins to break down. Capturing the wrong thing at the wrong time may reveal more than you intended, and some entities in Amenti do not like to be photographed.

Atmosphere Driven by Sound and Space

The world of Amenti is shaped by its oppressive silence and spatial design. The further you descend, the more unnatural the architecture becomes, with impossible angles and non-Egyptian structures embedded in stone. The game uses high-fidelity ambient sound to enhance isolation—each drip of water, shifting stone, or distant whisper becomes a source of tension. There is no combat, but survival depends on movement, attention, and your ability to decide what should be recorded and what should be left undisturbed.

Key features of Amenti:

·         Non-linear exploration of a buried ancient tomb

·         Photography-based mechanics tied to progression and danger

·         Environmental storytelling based on Egyptian history and myth

·         Increasingly surreal architecture influenced by speculative fiction

·         Immersive audio design that shapes player perception

Amenti is less about running from monsters and more about confronting the unknown. Every room is a question, every shadow a possible answer. As you uncover the forgotten truths of the tomb, you’ll begin to question the limits of history—and what was meant to stay buried.
