Uh … I think there might be a slight issue. I was breezing through this, enjoying the layout, and then I got to the sarcophagus puzzle. I “solved” it, hit the button, it said “excellent” …and then nothing happened and I am sealed in a room. I noclipped out of it (in case I was just too slow getting out it) and still nothing seems different. Did I miss something?
It’s a shame, because I was really enjoying this. It’s not difficult (on normal anyway) and I haven’t had any navigation issues. Visually, it’s quite nice.

UPDATE: Download version 2.0 (see “additional links”) if you had the same problem. That seemed to fix it!
Awesome map! It really picks up toward the end. Great job for your first map!

Loved this one! Glad I waited for the 2.0 to come around.

Can’t get Silver Key in sarcophagus area even using update. When i pick GL just nothing happens (i suppose surrounding sarcophagus must open and after i kill all zombies from them central sarcophagus must open and then the door to the Silver key. But nothing happens at all! Used Noclip to progress. Too sad! Map is awesome despite this bug…

This is probably one of the best Egyptian themed maps on here, it easily rivals the best in Retro Jam 6. The texture and brush work is damn good, it’s so evocative of Egyptian architecture and art. Encounters are fun. Secrets are fun. Custom music is fun. Everything is fun. I didn’t experience any bugs in 2.0 so play that one.

Visually exquisite detailing. I had to keep reminding myself that I was playing quake. Gave me vibes of unreal. Gameplay was fun and surprising. The custom music was absolutely perfect, felt like something that could of been on the original soundtrack had the game included an Egyptian environment. Is this actually your first released map for quake? Definitely not new to mapping! Can’t wait for your next one.

Very Egyptian and very enjoyable, though it was a bit strange seeing those grunts and enforcers in there. Also some interesting puzzles that were not overly opaque. But in the end the combats didn’t quite hold me as they do in the very best map, and I was missing that sense of exploration that makes me love my favourites — so it’s just four stars for me.
However, for a debut, it’s just amazing. Absolutely delightful. I really hope we see a lot more of Kayne.
I finished on 230 of the 244 kills, but only three of the nine secrets. (Plus one other that I found but didn’t take — a quad that I only located after I’d cleared out the area it was in.)
