Pyramid Scheming was created using the Unity Engine and programmed with Microsoft’s Visual Studio. This game is best played at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

Story:

The main character within the game is fortune hunter Jonesy Carter. In 1922, his father, British archaeologist Howard Carter, discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun. However, after years of exploring Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, Jonesy has made an even greater discovery–a hidden pyramid!

This pyramid is the final resting place of King Akhenaten, who may have been King Tut’s father.

Legend has it that the burial chamber holds untold riches, but to reach them, one must navigate through a labyrinth of treacherous tunnels guarded by giant locusts and even the spirit of the pharaoh himself!

Help Jonesy avoid the perils of the pyramid as he searches for King Akhenaten’s treasure. But be careful!
