SandStorm is an adult adventure visual novel from GleenX Studio, set in Egypt and full of ancient mysteries. You and your friends go on what was supposed to be a fun trip, but things quickly take a turn for the worse and you are thrust into a thrilling adventure. It is the first episode of the EraStorm series, and the game offers multiple routes and endings.
The trip itself is the reason the cast is gathered. Maddie, Madison Ford, is your college girlfriend, a 27-year-old soldier from Europe and the reason for the whole journey: she drags you from one ancient temple to the next and makes you listen to lectures on Egyptian history. Rion, whose full name is Marion Roy, is the protagonist’s childhood friend, now 25, a cosplay fan who came to Egypt with a boyfriend who is not treating her well. Nora is a 24-year-old gypsy who first appears on the second day, when she and two other girls from her musical group enter your bus. She sings, dances and takes part in dangerous circus shows, and she becomes your tour guide. Tal belongs to that group, does not speak English but has her eye on you right away.
Foxy is the mystery that ties it together, an Egyptian deity who appears in different guises: a hotel owner named Zaya who hands you a magic stone, later a girl in a fox mask in an abandoned temple, and finally Princess Nefertiti. She is cunning, beautiful and cruel.
The game is sold on itch.io for $6.90, for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, and is built in Ren’Py. Version 1.0 is the complete original, and v2.0 is a remaster with bonus content. Episode 2 of the series is SnowStorm, set among Vikings and Norse mythology. The five profiles here show who each woman is, how she fits into the Egyptian story and what her scenes look like.
