September 30th, 2024.
The indie games developer Lost Turnip are today very happy and excited to announce that their fast-paced 2D action-adventure “Run From Mummies“, is coming to PC (via Steam) and the PS5 (via PSN) on November 6th, 2024.
In Run From Mummies, a seemingly innocent vacation takes a dangerous turn as an ordinary tourist group accidentally awakens a long-dead pharaoh and his band of mummified minions, turning their sightseeing trip into a harrowing escape. Armed only with a camera, you must navigate the twisting, trap-filled corridors of the pyramid, using the camera’s flash to stun mummies and outsmart deadly traps.
Traverse seven diverse regions, each offering new challenges with unique enemies, treacherous traps, and bosses. Each character in the eccentric tourist group offers unique abilities and playstyles. Dive into the action solo or with friends, and experience the thrill of outwitting mummies and dodging traps together.
