So hey I've discovered a pretty neat game called Total Eclipse. It's a remake of some crummy old puzzle game, but it is actually pretty fun to play.

Basically it is a pyramid exploration game where you move from chamber to chamber trying to solve puzzles and pass obstacles in order to advance, kind of like a mix between Shadowgate and Montezuma's Return. It has a lot of secrets, treasures and puzzles, not to mention monsters which you have to avoid as sticking around for too long will increase your heart rate and eventually cause a heart attack. You also have to keep an eye on and refill your water container every once in a while as dehydration will kill you as well. Some monsters will also attack you causing you to lose water.

The ultimate goal I think is to reach the final chamber which, like most locked doors, will reqire Ankhs to open. You'll find them scattered around the pyramid, so you have to try to get by using as few of them as possible while also looking for new ones.



The graphics aren't that impressive but it's pretty cool, and I guess it'd be worth checking out if you're into old school puzzle games that require a bit of trial and error.

You can fetch it here, and the 1.01 patch here. It's about 12mb total.

It's no use Konix. I knew right from the start that I wouldn't get through to these gaming philistines.
