Forewarned

Forewarned is a co-op survival horror game for 1–4 players. You explore haunted ancient Egyptian tombs, investigate supernatural phenomena, collect treasure and lore, and try to survive the cursed mummies known as the Mejai. Your goal is to identify the mummy haunting the ruins, retrieve the sacred relic and escape—or venture deeper to perform a ritual that can banish the evil.

Explore the tombs

You can play solo, with friends or in a public online lobby. The game has twelve map types across the Sahara, each with a procedurally generated tomb whose layout can vary widely. Tombs contain their own creatures, traps, puzzles and other features, so expeditions differ from one another.

Use the tools at your disposal to identify the Mejai and reach the tomb’s inner chamber. Each Mejai has distinct characteristics and abilities; overcoming its strengths and exploiting its weaknesses can help you escape. More than 150 lore pages can be found in the ruins and transcribed to uncover the story behind the cursed Mejai.

Face the Mejai

The Mejai physically manifest to stop you from escaping. You can also descend to the tomb’s lowest level and attempt a ritual to banish the evil. Going deeper means facing further danger in pursuit of treasure, while you can also choose to leave with your life.

If you die, you can return as a servant of the Mejai. As a mummy, you can retain some of your former self and help the remaining survivors, or show loyalty to your new master.

Tools and progression

Gold collected during expeditions can be spent in the item shop to buy equipment and upgrade your tools. Rare treasures you find are displayed in the lobby. The game also includes player progression, character customization, archaeological tasks, prestige and difficulty customization.

Multiplayer and VR

The game supports crossplay between PC and VR modes. VR mode includes haptic feedback, and in-game voice chat offers both proximity and global channels for communicating with teammates.
