Echoes of Egypt: Hathor's Cube - Steam

🎮 About This Game Step into the vibrant world of "Echoes of Egypt," an innovative action-indie-arcade game that brings historical art to life. This game transforms traditional 2D gameplay into an immersive 3D experience. Hathor is an ancient Egyptian goddess of music, joy, and motherhood, but also of divine wrath when provoked. You've entered her domain uninvited. The goddess appears in both her iconic cow-headed form and her human form, tracking your progress through the cube. She's been watching since you arrived, and she's waiting at the end to settle the score. Every surface in Hathor's Cube responds to the beat. Hieroglyphs dance. Obstacles pulse. The soundtrack blends 1980s synths with Middle Eastern instruments, and it drives everything you see and everything trying to kill you. 🚀 Early Access Entering Early Access allows us to refine and expand the game based on your feedback. Currently, it features 12 sections rich in rhythmic puzzles and action gameplay. Releasing now helps us to enhance content quantity & quality, and develop new features effectively. Building this game has meant inventing new approaches in many domains: music interaction systems and audio middleware, 2D-to-3D middleware for multi-surface gameplay, and most of all shader & rendering techniques to perfect the Glyph Engine "Liquid Stone" look. These various aspects of research & development are taking multiple years to complete to the standard of the original vision. Once the graphical systems are in place, multiple editions will be created with different stories and styles of gameplay. We are involved with academic Egyptologists on a regular basis, and will continue to include interesting and accurate details in future updates. We expect to launch about two major updates during 2026, and several minor updates. 📍 Current State At the end of 2025, we released the Hathor's Cube edition as part of this early access game. The current version is fully playable with 12 unique sections that test a variety of skills through action and puzzle challenges, backed by a distinctive soundtrack. We're continuing to polish this foundation, focusing on graphical fidelity and gameplay depth. It is a 10-30 minute experience for those who can successfully complete the challenges. 💰 Pricing We plan to gradually increase the pricing as new content is added. Early adopters benefit from initial lower prices, gaining lifetime access to any future updates and expansions we plan to release. The goal for Echoes of Egypt is to include 2-4 smaller editions like Hathor's Cube and other installments, or one large installment with 1-2 smaller editions. When Echoes of Egypt contains a mix of contained editions at this scale, we plan to leave early access and launch the full game at approximately $15-$20 price point. 🌐 Community We're dedicated to involving the community deeply through Steam's forums and feedback tools. We will use telemetry to understand engagement, successes, and failures of content and balancing. This along with your direct feedback will directly influence each development cycle to ensure the game evolves toward its full potential. 🤖 AI Generated Content Disclosure Generative AI has been used during the development process, notably to create main title elements and some boss character artwork that appear in the current version. No dynamic AI content is generated during gameplay. Everything was pre-rendered during development. As prototyped portions of gameplay and elements are solidified, we would like to replace any stock and AI generated artwork with fully commissioned pieces in the future.
