Do you like watching others do all the work?
Cats do!
In this unique game you will plan, direct and oversee the construction of a Pyramid in Ancient Egypt.
Organize agriculture, plan the village, direct the building and watch thousands of workers on screen, in real time.
Or not: You may be forced to watch them die of exhaustion.
Which is all caused by your incapacity of planning the biggest project on earth.
So rise to the occasion, and get that thing built, stone by stone!
Game Play
Your first challenge, should you accept it, is to decipher the hieroglyphic User Interface.
Yes, that's right, the UI uses genuine ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
But if you want, you can cheat, and enable transcription into English.
You will need to build a food supply with farms and bakeries, and provide shelter for the workers.
And you will also need to hire your labour force.
Be careful though: do not hire more than you can feed and shelter: they may die if you fail to do so.
Oh, and don't run out of silver either. It is what buys you buildings and labour.
Labour
You will need to hire:- Irrigation Workers
- Farmers
- Household Servants
- Builders
All of these workers will go about their lives autonomously, in one massive and unparalleled crowd simulation that can grow into a force of thousands of workers.
But for the impatient Imhoteps among you: you can speed things along by picking up individual workers and place them back anywhere in the world.
Buildings
- Farms are the backbone of your civilization. They require irrigation, and provide grain.
- Bakeries will turn grain into food.
- Tax offices will take the surplus food and provide the project with much needed silver.
- Huts are required to shelter your workers when they become exhausted. Food is distributed to them.
Warning
This game uses the latest AVX CPU technology to simulate the crowd.This means you need a recent computer to run this game.
Intel Sandy Bridge or newer, or AMD Bulldozer or newer.
Check your CPU first for AVX support, before buying. Thank you!
(It also requires an up-to-date OpenGL driver -- v3.2 or higher.)

little challenge and over in 2 hours
This game was exactly as described on the store page/video. I found it fun for the 2 hours or so I spent building my pyramid, and I could see myself playing it again in the future if new features were added or changes were made.
The cats that appeared around the workers were interesting. It was enjoyable managing the balance between food production workers and the amount of houses for builders that they could sustain. The land surface is not flat and therefore provides a challenge as to where to place buildings and fields as usable spots are limited.
The game provides the option to translate the hieroglyphs when you hover over the button, and I recommend leaving that turned on because the game does no make much sense otherwise. The developer has made an official guide available which is findable through the main options menu. This guide explains to you the mechanics of the game and its workers and is essential to read unless you enjoy muddling through and figuring things out for yourself.
Overall, I recommend this game to people who enjoy cats, city building, and management games and want to waste a couple of hours staring at little workers do their silly moving animation.
I kind of like the idea of the game , but the biggest problem I have is that YOU CAN'T FLATTEN THE TERRAIN !!!!!!! Seriously game creator , you have this huge map , and you can't build shit anywhere because the terrain is so uneven !!! You need either a flat world , or the ability to equalize it !!! Get programming.
This game is simple, yet stupidly fun for a couple hours of entertainment. People should recognize that this game is not deep in content or action, but provides a quirky (and what I believe is unique) style of play. As earlier reviewers said, this doesn't seem to be made in the interest of making money, rather I see this as an investigation of new programming styles (and possible a new type of sim game). As long as you don't overestimate Pyramid Builder, you should have a good couple hours of fun with cats and egyptian dudes.
Recommended to buy on sale.
This game is simple and limited. With that said I really liked it. It's a good start to a twist on an RTS/building game. I hope to see more maybe different buidlings and a you create level. I know this is the first of a new game dynamic so I dont want to be negative about its limitations or lack of content. Bottom line is that it is a fun game but you will get bored of it after a couple hours.
THIS GAME IS AIDS BUT BUY IT ANYWAY
i think its a great game
TL;DR; If you want a game to keep you occupied for an hour or 2 or wish to see crowd simulation at work, then at the discount price it is worth a bash. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend paying the full price. But please, read the rest before you judge.
This is a relatively simple (and as the developer pointed out - unique) game. I suspect this game is more an exercise in optimisation (whether it be code, compiler or underlying maths/algorithms) and crowd simulation technology rather than an attempt to make a successful money-earning game. However, the graphics are simple and well done and the game feels and looks finished though it is limited in scope.
The aim of the game is to build a pyramid and to do that you need to build fields, bakeries and huts (and extra tax houses if you want to spread out a bit - but the starting one serves) and then employ workers to transport water -> field, field -> bakery, bakery -> hut/tax and bricks -> pyramid.
There is probably some ratio of fields -> bakeries -> houses -> total workers/distance but I found that I didn't need to work out what that was in order to optimise as it was simple enough just to mass produce food and thus mass produce silver to employ as many workers as I needed/could.
Although this game is quirky I don't think there is much replay-ability in it - good for spending an hour or 2 and maybe for trying to speed run it but that is about it as there are no random events etc.
Something that could be improved upon is that when you select a building to build, the map could highlight all of the possible places to place chosen building, instead of you having to scroll around trying to find a spot, (which is not always easy because the workers get in the way and the placement "bounces" around them).
If the dev were to extend the options in game, (eg. add a quarry and require you to balance builders/stonemasons/miners) or add some random events (eg. plague, draught) then I would consider changing this review from a negative one to a positive.
I knew what the hyroglyphs did because i had translate on but i got to a point where there WAS NOT EVEN ENOUGH STONE to build a pyramid. WTF
dont buy this game, it looks oke but when your in the game you have no idea what to do.
you only see unclear pictures en the guide is unclear as well. if you play for 2 hours you have won or lose, there is an easy way to win and you can do this over and over so after 2 hours of gameplay the game is useless and you waste your money
