I’m not actually doing Cringetober but I saw the prompt “childhood video game” and decided I needed to draw Him. He. The boy. The guy.

Here is an overview of the game, via THQ Nordic:

About

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is an original third-person action adventure inspired by the mythology of ancient Egypt. Travelling the world via magical portals to foil the evil plans of Set. Sphinx’s Journey will require all his wits, agility, and special powers. He will also rely on his reluctant hero friend, The Mummy, to help when being inconspicuous is the only solution. By finding the stolen magical crowns of Egypt, Sphinx can stop Set and save the world. An ancient Egyptian Universal Empire once joined several worlds through Solar Disc portals. The old empire was destroyed and the civilizations in each world have suffered different fates, some of them have continued contact and others have lost it. These worlds have been separated for such a long time that many of them would not recognize each other. The legend says that two forces, one negative, one positive, are trying to recover the old empire and all of its crowns again. But we know very little about these forces or if they really exist. Other people are simply trying to understand what happened and the real nature of each world. Meanwhile each world continues with it’s own way and history. Recently, strange things have been happening… News is received from many places that problems are appearing; the normally peaceful villages are now at war, odd monsters appear in valleys where there was once placid ecology… Nobody knows why… The chain of communication between the worlds remains partially abandoned, partially destroyed and so unstable that to use it is a sure way to cause even more problems and dangers. A long time ago the Great Wall in Heliopolis was built to protect the civilians. Many people have used the portals but disappeared without trace. For this reason you never know how you will be received in any of the locations or if you will get anywhere at all.

Some thoughts. The game, of course, shows Tut's story as so-called comedy, but if to think about the context… seriously, it's scenario of 18+ horror movie:

You live a wonderful life of a normal teenager (I don't know how old he is, but clearly under twenty), and not just some ordinary person but the heir to the throne; because of this, of course, your entire life everyone treat you like a treasure (and yes, most likely, they raise you a fragile flower that cannot stand up for himself (though I don't know the full picture here, since I'm judging by the beginning of the plot)). And then, out of nowhere, your closest relative tortures you until you die, after which kidnaps you, and you find yourself in a completely unfamiliar nightmarish place where only "living" things are your half-decayed body, which for completely mysterious reasons can move, and an unknown animate object which tells you something about your stolen soul. The first, second and third thing, of course, are complete nonsense for you, bordering on insanity, because you are not a magician and have never met anything similar before.

As a result, you are now completely alone with your thoughts of this whole wild situation and complete ignorance of whether your entire family has betrayed you and whether at least someone is going to save you, and if not, then what to do at all.

Moreover, you're locked in a prison, piled high with human corpses and torture devices (don't know though if Tut knows what iron maidens are), and with a huge pit filled to the brim with severed human heads – all of which was obviously dragged here by either your precious relative or some other kidnapper. Of course, maybe if you're already dead, your views on death somehow changes - like, if it no longer threatens you, then what to fear? But, on the other hand, you exist, obviously, only as long as you have at least some kind of body - lose it, and your soul will end up who knows where, and who knows in what state (hope Tut at least doesn't feels that as soul he is sealed in an urn), as if you've died again, what is no good already. And also, my God, your normal child psyche is locked inside your own corpse! No way it will stay normal for long in such a state.

And, in addition to all this, absolutely unclear who, with unclear goals (at least for me, at the very beginning of the game and from monkey god’s words, it is unclear whether the monkey is going to save the poor guy later), is exploiting you simply because "Oh, how convenient, you can't die! Now we need you to go through some masochism!!" and gods having some feuds between them.

God forbid such a “comedy” appear in your dreams at night… O.o

Oh look! A wild thumbnail

I think if I just cave a draw them all myself it'll help give my silly channel an identity outside of having a strong affinity for my childhood and less mainstream games.

Also I gotta start signing my thumbnails
