Shuujin he no Pert-em-Hru

Shuujin he no Pert-em-Hru is a Japanese freeware role-playing game developed in RPG Maker Dante 98 II by Makoto Yaotani. The phrase “Pert-em-Hru” references the Egyptian Book of the Dead, so the title can be understood as meaning “The Book of the Dead for the Prisoners.” The game was made by a two-person team, although Yaotani carried out most of the development work, and it took about a year and a half to complete.

Professor Tsuchida, a leading expert on archaeology, goes on an unauthorized expedition into the unknown lower levels of the Great Pyramid of Giza with his assistant Kōji Kuroe. They soon realize that the underground ruins is full of death traps when the excavator they hired is decapitated by a thin metal wire. Professor Tsuchida, unwilling to back down, goes outside the pyramid to lure a Japanese tour group nearby to act as his human shield. Inside the pyramid, one by one, the members of the entourage become subject to Khufu's punishment for their faults, but the professor insists on heading deeper into the complex despite knowing the fatal dangers of the environment.
