The secret of Anubis by Titan, an Amstrad CPC game in english and french

-

After HEXAPUCCHU The lost city of Patchucca, Titan has released le secret d'Anubis, a new Amstrad CPC game, another gamebook like game such as the Lone wolf book serie.

The cold had frozen Paris... and my business, when... a letter.

It was waiting for me on the desk, lying there like the ultimate reminder that miracles still exist. Thick paper, the scent of aged leather, a golden seal pressed into wax: for once, it wasn’t a bill ! The crest - I knew it. I had seen it once, often, then never again.

TARIQ El-Nasir, a patron, billionaire, compulsive collector of lost civilizations. A man so mysterious I had never met him in the flesh. He was content to send me, by mail, the addresses of my future excavation sites. Missions that, so far, had never truly led to glory...

Like that failed expedition to Sudan. I came back with two broken fingers, a heatstroke, and a newspaper article that didn’t even mention me. Since then, nothing. A silence as dry as a desert without an oasis.

And now, he was writing to me again. I didn’t open the letter right away. I traced its edges the way you study a treasure map scribbled in haste. This kind of mail never appears by chance. And it almost never brings good news. More often, riddles. Traps. And sometimes... death.

But in my case... I had nothing to lose.
