Lots of forward movement here, folks

Many of you have wanted a DRM-Free version, and early on we had said we would make every effort to provide ROTS DRM-Free.

Well, we finally were able to connect with GOG and finalize an agreement. Therefore, we can now announce that we will have a DRM-Free option on GOG very soon!

We are working on a GOG build with achievements and DLCs. As soon as we have the build live, we will let you know and send the appropriate codes.

Stay tuned!

– Old World Studios team

Yes, it’s true. After a long time of testing and refinement, and after most of the dev team contracting COVID-19, the mobile build for iOS (iPhone 6s+ and iPad) is live on Apple’s app store!

ROTS desktop is already available for Windows and Mac on Steam, but now you can play ROTS on the go. We think you’ll find the mobile UI especially fluid and intuitive.

Redemption codes are coming…

Backers with iOS mobile build rewards will get the iOS app and DLCs for FREE!. We will be sending out redemption codes over the next few days, so watch your email (and check your SPAM folder).

NOTE: The redemption codes will unlock the iOS mobile app and all of the DLCs.

What if you didn’t pledge?

You can buy the iOS ROTS app here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/riddle-of-the-sphinx/id1560873403

What about Android?

For those of you who pledged for an Android version, your day is coming! ROTS for Android is in the last phases of debugging and optimization. And once it goes live, we will announce it here and send redemption codes out for all Android mobile backers.

We hope this update finds each one of you healthy and untouched by the virus. If you’re like us, we are itching to get outside and gather with friends and family again. And I’m sure we are all looking forward to exploring Riddle of the Sphinx: The Awakening!

Thankfully none of the team has had the virus. Or if we have, we didn’t know it. We have been able to continue working on the game at a constant pace!

Karen and I are still busy finishing up the few last-remaining levels. Charlie has the bulk of the puzzles programmed. Christian is stitching all the assets together and testing navigation. And Marta has been working on the Collector’s Edition crate packaging.

Here’s a sneak peek at the latest scenes:

We have so much more to show, but we are more excited about getting the game in your hands. In a few weeks, we will have an ETA to announce.

Stay healthy and stay safe!

Jeff and the ROTS Team

Publishing: Egyptian Adventure Game Mirrors Recent Great Pyramid Discovery

MOSELLE (SAINT LOUIS), Missouri, Nov 7, 2017 — National Geographic magazine stated that the mysterious void just discovered will not be explorable, since there are no known corridors connecting the Grand Gallery to this “void.” Coincidentally, an Egyptian adventure game has mirrored these staggering developments.

Old World Studios, the developers of Riddle of the Sphinx: The Awakening, conducted a tremendous amount of research, to make an adventure game that modeled all of the existing monuments and chambers to exact specifications. But they went even further by building access to the many speculated hidden chambers and corridors thought to be within the Great Pyramid.

Charlie Tobler, co-developer and lead programmer, states: “We took some artistic license, of course, but much of what you explore is true to life as if you were to explore the Great Pyramid and Sphinx in person. Now people can experience one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, without all the red tape and expense involved in an expedition of that magnitude.”

“Riddle of the Sphinx came about because Karen and I wanted to explore what lay beyond the existing tombs and chambers in the Great Pyramid. We started with actual archaeological discoveries and scientific speculation and turned those into virtual-reality in Riddle of the Sphinx,” said Jeff Tobler, original co-designer/developer.

Jeff and Karen Tobler founded Old World Studios with the vision of allowing the exploration of real and fictional “old worlds” virtually through realistic and captivating adventure games. Now, with Charlie and Marta Tobler, their son and daughter-in-law joining the team, they have decided to take their epic adventures to the next level, allowing both new and veteran explorers to experience the wonders that have mesmerized players worldwide. Old World Studios is a subsidiary of LifeTree Games, a company with the purpose of providing exciting, yet wholesome, entertainment.
