About

Build the mysterious heart of Ancient Persia in this engaging puzzle game! The original capital of the Achaemenid Empire was adorned with luxurious metals, gems and stone carvings, sure to have impressed peasants and visiting nobles alike. Sadly, the exotic gardens and impressive architecture that once filled this land have vanished into the passing sands. Now you’ve got the chance to seek out the riddles of these ruins, as you travel through the land of a-thousand-and-one nights. To do this, you will need skill and a keen wit, but the result - if you survive - will unlock a mystery never before seen by man, here in the Cradle of Persia.
