Really great narrative and artwork! I'm not usually a fan of narrative heavy games but I had a good chuckle with the "Did I just seduce a ring?" line lol. Loved the soundtrack too!

I mean, ripped anubis is already a 5/5. Good story, overall fun game. Great job!

First of all, I loved the I Can't Believe It's Not Midna's Lament soundtrack, what a banger! Plus lots of cool little details in the art like the face in the mountains.

Creative storyline and execution, nice work! I got trapped in a jar, but I liked it enough to come back for a better go.

On my first run, my soul got devoured!! But on my second run, I managed to convince them I’m a good person. On the third run, I managed to get the extra time and checked out all the things, yet the game still said I should go back and discover more which confused me a little bit. Is there more to learn?

Fun game with a very unique art style!

I'm glad you liked my game. There was going to be another ending when to check everything, but I had no time to add it. I hope after the ratings I can add this additional ending. Thanks for playing!!!

I barely know anything about Egyptian mythology, but it seems that if you don't remember anything about your past, I'd have a better chance for going to heaven. But when it comes down to it, would I be able to resist wanting to know about my past life? makes me think.

nice game!

I was really intrigued by the setup of the game. It was interesting to learn about the character's story and the larger history through these little moments connected to specific objects.

The art was charming, and the music fit the game really well. Good job!

I couldn't figure out how to get the good ending. Played a couple of times but best I got was getting trapped in a jar. Great game though, story was very engaging.

Nice idea, wanted to play more, to know more.

I really enjoyed this! It refreshed my knowledge of the Egyptian gods lol. The art is absolutely beautiful, and the story was also nice. One suggestion I have is to consider using a time limit (for example, one minute) instead of limiting the player to three actions. It might make the experience feel more frantic and encourage players to uncover as many memories as possible before the trial begins. I also ran into a bug in one of the questions: I'll attach a screenshot. But overall, an amazing game!
