FOREWARNED is a cooperative survival horror game developed by Dreambyte Games that places players in the shoes of archaeologists delving into ancient Egyptian ruins to uncover relics, secrets, and terrifying supernatural entities. It draws comparisons to games like Phasmophobia in how it emphasizes co-op investigation, procedural generation, and escalating tension, but FOREWARNED sets itself apart with a unique setting, an immersive atmosphere, and the looming threat of ancient curses. The result is a compelling mix of deduction, horror, and teamwork that, despite some rough edges, delivers an increasingly polished and engaging multiplayer experience. At the heart of FOREWARNED is the idea of exploring procedurally generated tombs, each filled with traps, puzzles, environmental clues, and one of several different types of cursed beings known as the “Mejai.” Each expedition tasks players with entering the tomb, gathering evidence of which Mejai is present, locating a lost relic, an...

About This Game
FOREWARNED is a 1-4 player co-op survival horror game where you and your friends embark on an expedition into haunted ancient Egyptian tombs. Investigate phenomena, collect treasure, discover lore, survive danger, and banish the evil that lurks within.
GEAR UP AND DELVE DEEP
Play solo, with a group of friends, or find a public lobby online. Take advantage of every tool at your disposal to identify the name of the mummy haunting the ruins and enter the tomb's inner chamber. Retrieve the sacred relic, along with any other treasure you find along the way.SURVIVE THE HORRORS WITHIN
The mummies that haunt these tombs, also known as the cursed Mejai, will physically manifest in an attempt to prevent your escape. Each Mejai possesses unique characteristics and abilities. Overcome their strengths and exploit their weaknesses to escape with your life.EXPLORE PROCEDURALLY GENERATED TOMBS
Choose from twelve unique maps set in vividly detailed and rich environments across the Sahara. Each map type possesses a distinct procedurally generated ancient Egyptian tomb that has nearly infinite layout possibilities so that no two playthroughs are ever the same, each containing its own creatures, traps, puzzles, and other unique features to discover.BANISH THE EVIL
The ancient texts suggest there's a way to banish the evil that haunts these ruins by performing a ritual in the tomb's lowest level. Will you give in to greed and delve deeper into the darkness to put an end to the curse and find treasure of unparalleled worth, or will you be content leaving with your life?DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
When you die, you will have the option to return as a servant of the Mejai. Will you hold on to a semblance of your former self and help the remaining survivors, or demonstrate loyalty to your new master? Experience unique afterlife mechanics and return as a mummy.

User Reviews
A hidden diamond, recommend it wholeheartedly. Really fits the end-of-the-day "i have 30 minutes, lets do something" vibe. Replayability 5/5 Scary factor: 4/5 until stuff is new, 3/5 when you know your way around Coop feeling: 4/5, with trolls maybe less. If you know you know. Soul: 5/5
Fun for a moment. Buy when it's perhaps onsale and super duper cheap or smth. As others have pointed out, it lacks in content. The playerbase isn't active so there isnt random lobbies. Theres a reason even streamers havent come back to it.
If you enjoy Phasmophobia, then you will enjoy this game. There are similar mechanics at first, where you are using various tools to discover which of the named Mejai is the resident protector of a tomb that you enter. But it's not quite as easy to narrow down which of the Mejai is present because there are twelve types of evidence, and each Mejai will show eight of the types of evidence. Once you have figured out which Mejai it is, you can use the name to enter the main tomb where you can collect the artifact. At that point, you have a choice: take the artifact and leave, or use the artifact to banish the Mejai and make the tomb safe. Either way, you aren't safe yet. The Mejai closes the exit and traps you inside. You have to find a previously invisible lever to escape, and the entire time you are looking, the Mejai is hunting you. Each one has different abilities, and you'll need to use the hints about each Mejai to figure out how to get around them and escape. If you decide to b...
