The game contains three playable characters: Assil, Thara and the Pharaoh. Gameplay is similar to the Runaway series. The game requires clicking on objects and places in the area to solve puzzles and progress. By default the player will be able to move the playable character around. When the mouse pointer is hovered over a particular something, the icon changes to match a different action such as Looking, Taking, Talking and Using. Items in the inventory can be looked at by left clicking on them and used by right clicking on them.[3]

One puzzle served as a copyright protection measure, in which the player was required to use a code wheel provided with the game copy to solve the combination in order to continue the game.[4]


Development


During the game's development, Deck13 revised the puzzles and content based on feedback from the previous game, while trying to balance the storyline and gameplay as well as the difficulty of the puzzles.[5]
