About this game
Shadows of Duat is an old school survival horror set in Egypt. An indie game with the essence of the classics of the genre, but modern gameplay, with realistic graphics, immersive sound and over-the-shoulder view. A difficult and terrifying challenge only for the bravest.
This story takes place entirely inside a colossal Egyptian tomb full of secrets to discover, puzzles, traps, curses and spooky enemies, which you will have to face through your wits, due to the shortage of ammunition.
There are 4 main characters that you can embody: the Archaeologist, the Engineer, the Mercenary and the Sage. Each one has their own unique abilities and will allow you to experience the story from a different point of view.
The game is full of references and curiosities from Ancient Egypt, since its levels are based on the Egyptian underworld described in the Book of Gates.
In the darkness of the tomb, you must be alert to every sound, every mural or statue, which will give you clues about the dangers lurking around every corner. The tomb is alive and sometimes the same corridor can lead to different places with new threats, so the tension is constant. The scary thing is not being alone in the dark. It's not being alone in the dark.
The puzzles will be a recurring mechanic and the keys to solving them are in the details. Your observation capacity and your ingenuity will be rewarded. But often to fail can mean suffering a fateful fate.
Shadows of Duat rewards exploration, as the labyrinthine paths of the tomb hold many secrets, curiosities, and even unique items.
There is no single way to end this adventure. There are multiple endings that you will be able to see depending on your decisions. Choose wisely, because the life or death of the characters and even the fate of humanity will depend on it.

Temporary fix for the Achievement bug in Shadows of Duat
Some of your earned achievements may not appear on Steam. Fortunately, Shadows of Duat has an internal database that stores all of your achievements. As a temporary solution until we resolve the connectivity issues with Steam, we've created this tool, which you can access from the Main Menu, as shown in the video: You'll now be able to view the game's internal achievement database. If any of your achievements are there but aren't reflected on Steam, you'll need to enter the encrypted name and number of the achievement, as shown in the video, and then click Check. If all goes well, Steam will give you the missing achievement.Read full article on Community Announcements (Atrox1156)Patch NotesOfficial

Achievements Hotfix
We're continuing to work on fixing achievements. Now, from the Main Menu, if you tap the Achievements submenu, you'll see a small red button in the lower right corner of the screen. Clicking on it will show you the achievements you've earned according to the game's internal database. If any of these achievements appear here as completed but not on Steam, use the menu at the top of this new window to try to fix it. This system is still rudimentary and is in the testing phase.Read full article on Community Announcements (Atrox1156)
