lilithkismet rated Pyramid

A downloadable game for Windows.

A one-hour survival horror set at a cursed pyramid.  First you'll need to solve the puzzle to get inside. Once you're in there, you realize you're not alone.

Art style uses an interesting blend of 3D environment with 2D objects. Background audio varies between soundscape and spooky ambient. The minimal bgm lets the sound effects stand out, the immediacy of  footsteps and creaking doors/levers in dim lamplight feels claustrophobic. 

I admit to feeling disappointed with the ending, which felt a little forced/rushed. There's a switch you can't flip, which I at first thought was bugged. Then you are unavoidably attacked - you are now back in the corridor for some reason - and then you're not allowed to escape from the pyramid because you decided it needs to be sealed, with you still in it.  I wasn't really sure what brought that particular decision about (is there a risk that the monster is going to get out and kill people or something? What was all that text about the maybe-not-dead king about?), or why I was attacked/transported to the corridor rather than just outright killed. 

The game has one jumpscare toward the end.
