About FOREWARNED
FOREWARNED is a 1‑4 player co‑op survival horror game where players explore haunted ancient Egyptian tombs. You can embark on an expedition solo, with friends, or join a public lobby online, using tools to identify the mummy’s name and retrieve a sacred relic while surviving the cursed Mejai.
The game features twelve distinct map types, each with a procedurally generated tomb that offers near‑infinite layout possibilities. After death, players may return as servants of the Mejai, adding a unique after‑life mechanic, and the title supports both PC and VR modes with cross‑play.
01 / THE GUIDE
Gameplay Loop
Expeditions require investigating phenomena, collecting treasure, and uncovering lore while avoiding or confronting the cursed Mejai. The core loop combines exploration, puzzle solving, and combat to reach the tomb’s inner chamber and perform the banishing ritual.
Progression is tied to player advancement, character customization, archaeological tasks, prestige, and difficulty options, giving each run depth beyond the immediate treasure hunt.
- Gather lore pages early; they provide context that can guide later decisions.
- Balance treasure hunting with caution; excessive greed may increase exposure to Mejai attacks.
02 / THE GUIDE
Procedurally Generated Tombs
Choose from twelve unique maps set across the Sahara, each containing a distinct procedurally generated ancient Egyptian tomb. The generation system creates nearly infinite layout variations, ensuring no two playthroughs are identical.
Every generated tomb includes its own creatures, traps, puzzles, and other features, providing fresh challenges and discovery opportunities on each expedition.
- Explore multiple corridors on early runs to become familiar with possible layout patterns.
- Take note of recurring trap designs; they may hint at underlying generation rules.

Mejai Enemies
The cursed Mejai are mummies that physically manifest to block escape. Each Mejai possesses unique characteristics and abilities, requiring players to identify and exploit specific weaknesses.
Understanding each Mejai’s behavior is essential, as their strengths dictate the tactics needed for successful confrontation and survival.
- Observe enemy attack cues before engaging; patterns often reveal exploitable moments.
- Use a variety of tools from the item shop to counter different Mejai abilities.

Afterlife Mechanic
When a player dies, they may return as a servant of the Mejai, choosing to aid survivors or serve the curse. This creates a second‑stage gameplay where former teammates can become new threats.
Returning as a mummy changes the player’s role, adding strategic depth for both the living and the resurrected participants.
- Discuss death‑choice options with teammates early; it influences group strategy.
- Consider how a resurrected player might affect puzzle solutions before the ritual.
