Help me, Codex.

A while ago, on another forum, I saw someone post a video of a Myst-like (first person) adventure game set in either Egypt or something close to that. I've been trying to recall its name, but to no avail. I have very little to go on, but perhaps someone here might help me?

Here's what little I remember:

  • It was a Myst-like adventure game set either in Egypt or in a similiar setting.
  • The area I remember - I think it was the starting area, though I may be wrong about that - was something like a harbor or similarly large open area, with blue sky and yellow-walled building (or, to be more precise, I think the walls were the color of sand).
  • There was at least one NPC you could talk to in that area. I think he was standing in some kind of corner, and was at least a bit animated.
  • The game had no to little UI, I believe. The scene(s) took the entire screen.

Very little info, I know. But maybe someone has any ideas? I'm pretty sure it isn't any of the well-know Myst clones; it's got to be more or less obscure.

P.S. I don't think it was Riddle of the Sphinx, Egypt whatever BC or Secrets of the Luxor.

Egypt II: The Heliopolis Prophecy perhaps? I'm pretty sure it did start at a market located at a harbor.

I initially thought it could be Egypt 1156 BC but that doesn't start in a harbour and you don't think it's it. Maybe Egypt II that Jvegi mentioned? (I didn't even know there was a sequel...)

Well, this was quick. It goes to show just how little I remembered about the game, but yeah, it does look a lot like Atlantis.

Not so obscure after all, and not quite set in Egypt. :P

It also goes to show how much more monocled we are than...that other forum. ;)

How about the Journeyman Project 2: Buried in Time? Not quite Egyptian but Aztec - still, that's what it reminded me of.*

*Maybe just the visuals part, I don't remember all that much about this game.
