Pyramids and Aliens: Escape Room

Pyramids and Aliens is a single-player, first-person escape room from mc2games. You play an archaeologist searching for a missing mentor inside an Egyptian pyramid, and the trail leads to an alien temple and a conspiracy about who really built it. It suits solo players who like methodical puzzle rooms with an ancient-mysteries twist.

About 79% of 117 Steam reviews are positive. Fans praise the setting and visuals, and several call the puzzles original, logical and well clued, including one player who finished without any help. Others note that a couple of puzzles feel janky, with fiddly drag-and-drop handling.

The recurring complaints are practical. Many puzzles expect you to remember or screenshot information from elsewhere, with no in-game notebook and no borderless window mode for easy alt-tabbing. One player found the alien temple's puzzles would not respond, and another hit a display bug on an ultrawide screen. If you keep notes by hand and play at a standard resolution, it is a decent pick, especially on sale; skip it if you dislike tracking clues outside the game.
