Dead Tomb, a new point-and-click adventure game from 8 Bit Legit (@WeAre8BitLegit) and CollectorVision Games/Acclaim, is out now on Xbox, Nintendo Switch and NES. The game marks the first physical NES release by 8-Bit Legit, and it belongs to the "Final Edition" series that has only 300 copies available.
In Dead Tomb, your employer sends you on a study that takes you back in time, but as fate would have it, you find yourself in a serious predicament. A malfunction in your ship forces you to land in Egypt 1300BC where luckily you spot a huge pyramid you can set your craft down on. Well, maybe you are not so lucky?
It should be an easy fix. One you have done so many times before. It should be only a short time before you are back to your journey, right? Not so fast. The Pharaoh Seti I's soldiers discover your appearance in their land and take matters into their own hands.
The next thing you know, you wake up with a huge bump on your head and deep inside the pyramid.
Where are you? Why are you here? Can you get out and return to your mission?
REVEIL is a narrative first-person psycho-thriller game that focuses on story, puzzles, and exploration. Find out what’s going on inside Walter Thompson and what his dark past at the Nelson Bros Circus has to do with it.
You wake up. You’re disoriented. Your head hurts. Things seem surreal, yet familiar.
Your wife Martha and your daughter Dorie are not there. Why? Looking for answers, you explore your environment and fragments of memories. On your journey, you are repeatedly confronted with riddling tasks, driven by the desire to find out what’s going on. What happened last night? Why can’t you think of any other thing aside from your days as a stage builder at the circus?
As things get crazier and more bizarre, the lines between reality, memory, and imagination become more and more blurred and you realize: there is no going back. You have to do whatever it takes to bring this story to an end, no matter at what cost…
“The feeling of safety is an elusive one. It’s not over yet.”
Setting
In REVEIL, the player is immersed into a world, designed with attention to detail, where the boundaries between reality and illusion become blurred. The setting is an authentically orchestrated environment inspired by the circus of the 60s, which soon takes on surreal features. Get a glimpse into the psyche and the past of Walter Thompson:
The impressions become darker, more mysterious, more enigmatic the further you advance.
Once caught in the maelstrom of deceptive impressions, memory fragments, and mysterious visions, your only option is to dive deeper—in the hope of finding answers to your perplexing situation and condition, even if this hope is slowly fading. The only thing that keeps you from giving up is the will to find Martha and Dorie. Do not shut your eyes to the hints left by the two, but keep them wide open and… try to not lose your mind.
Key Features
A deeply psychological experience that will keep you questioning everything.
Five playable acts in different, carefully designed environments.
First-person narrative experience including:
Various puzzles and riddles.
Beautiful and immersive visual experience.
Multi-layered narrative with psychedelic, biographical, and disturbing elements.
Atmospheric paintings, posters, writings referring to the circus era of the 60s.
