Synopsis

As Kteth, a minor Egyptian god, you live an uneventful life until your father, the god Seth, kills the supreme god Osiris in order to take his place.
However, this is not to be. Along with your father, you are banished from Paradise. Your only chance to get back to your rightful place among the gods is the largely forgotten Book of the Dead.

Notes

Originally a ZX Spectrum game, self-published by the authors. The game was later snapped up and republished by CRL, which is when the Amstrad and C64 ports were produced.

The game uses Essential Myth's GACPAC; which they later made available for Spectrum users.

The original Amstrad CPC released by CRL, archived in many places online, was seriously bugged; starting the player off in the wrong location. This was eventually fixed and a free replacement was offered by indie-publisher Recreation Re-Creation when they later republished the game. A bug-fixed version of the game, utilising their revised "part 1" can be downloaded via NVG.
