Masud did a terrible thing.

Now he wears the Mask of Odion, a cursed relic that's forced his soul into the body of a mummy. Worse is Odion himself, the former owner of Masud's new body.

Keep walking, sweetheart, Odion says, his phantasmal jawbone clacking and clattering. Every minute we spend in this God-forsaken desert is another minute your body rots in my tomb.

An ocean of sand stretches in front of them. How many more miles until they reach the tomb? How many more days until they break Anuket's Tear and lift the curse?


Features:
- Traverse a winding pyramid and other beautifully designed but dangerous areas in exploration-based gameplay.
- 33 relics to collect that boost stats and grant powerful new skills add layers of depth to the turn-based combat.
- A story featuring four well-developed characters with a focus on mystery, duty, and living in an unconventional family.
- Solve puzzles and riddles, and use relics to unlock new areas, while listening to the game's original soundtrack. You can get it here.

Born Under the Rain's Soundtrack

For anyone interested, I finally got around to uploading the soundtrack. Everything should be free to download and you should be able to stream as much as you want:

You can get the soundtrack to Born Under the Rain here.

Also, if you like my music, I've uploaded the soundtrack to The Heart Pumps Clay as well. You can get it here.

Enjoy!

It's a fairly short game--it was a contest game after all! All of the names involved me looking up Egyptian names and picking one that felt right.
Finally decided to go off Hard and Itemless beat Akhenaten since it's only possible on Easy.

And got all the way to the second boss. Which must be fought, so I'm grinding to LV 10 or more via Tabia.

I assume there's no 10th Jade Scarab before the second boss. So a simple question, do you remember if Tabia is a pun on kitab? A.k.a book? Or of Tablet, etc?

Cool that there's so many people unwilling to talk! Ha! ... And found the Cloak of Storms and my 10th Scarab! Good thing I went back for a third time! ... 4 sarcophagi, along with that message... 4 members of the party. Ominous.

Lol C4cophagus! ... Gotta be lucky or higher level to take down second boss itemless on Hard. But close. Just need good Nightmare use. Oh, levels just boost stats by 1. huh. Well, passed it.

Got Sand Sphere - 9 Relics left! Game's shorter than I thought? Nevermind. Found the Paralyzing Fear Of Snakes...

Take care of yourself.

Awesome, thank you for the info, LockeZ! Hard mode it is. We'll see if I can beat what you have in store for me.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Although obviously it's a little longer, I can't imagine it would take anywhere close to twice as long. I'll be in the stream chat!

What difficulty?


Probably Hard, unless that's likely to make the game take trice as long to complete. I enjoy a good challenge, but I want to try and keep the stream to a reasonable length as well.

I've been wanting to play this game ever since it came out, and yet I never got around to it. So in order to make up for that, assuming nothing unexpected stops me, I will be streaming Born Under the Rain this Saturday at 7 pm GMT (exactly 48 hours from the time of this post). Let's see if this game is as good as I've been told it is. I have high hopes!

Yeah, that's why we ended up retooling the difficulty and the monster HP in the next version after his LP, and the first couple reviews which mentioned the same problem.
watched lobo play this. Maps were large and extensive and quite impressive really. Though one irritable thing I noticed was the battles. They went on way, way too long. I know they are non respawning fixed encounters and so should be challenging and all, but it just takes way too long because they have too much HP. Felt kind of repetitive too especially since monster variety isn't all that much. Bosses also consistently appear to take around 30+ minutes due to sheer HP.
Really great work, guys... From the detailed environments to the excellent writing, to the engaging combat. Thanks.
I'm pretty busy with Jimmy right now, but I think it would be fun to make a treasure-hunting game as pre-mummy Masud, where he's a full-on unrepentant thief. Possibly have a frame story set after the events of the original and have some story elements tied at least thematically to what would basically be a prequel. Again, I've got like a year of dev left on Jimmy, but it might be something worth mulling over if that sounds like a fun concept.

We should totally make Reborn Under the Rain as a commercial game, and add some extra content.


Interesting title! ... Are you thinking of that as a remake, or a sequel or what?

Thanks for playing! I can't speak for the other devs, but I would feel weird putting in a post game without some sort of post-game content (e.g. another dungeon or something), and we're done with this one unless Locke or Indra want to revisit it.

As for the ending:

I don't know think cohabitating with a mummy is a good permanent living situation, but it's a big desert, so there are lots more secrets to explore.
I just played this game and loved it! I'm a little disappointed that
at the end I wasn't able to go back to the village.
It makes sense in context but I was missing a few relics and thought that after
defeating Anuket I might be able to go back and saunter around and find those.

I'm not super happy that in order to find them I have to be pre-ending.

I also was hoping Anuket could get added to the monster lady's book because she said she wanted some gods and goddesses for it :c

Since Masud isn't getting his body back anyway why can't he and Odion hang out in the village with Rashida and Masika? Dx
