Happy Halloween!! 🎃👻🦇🧡✨

If you're looking for some history-inspired spooky games to play, I released two short visual novels on itch.io earlier this year! 🥰

(please read the content warnings before playing!)

The House of Seclusion by calygreyhound

A horror visual novel set in twentieth dynasty Egypt

The House of Seclusion is a horror visual novel, inspired by the harem conspiracy against Ramses III. It was made in 10 days for the O2A2 visual novel jam, a micro vn jam with strict asset limitations and a 1000 word limit.

Atropa by calygreyhound

Henrietta bites off more than she can chew at the mummy unwrapping party.

Atropa is a horror visual novel for the Game Boy Color. It was made during September for the Spooktober visual novel game jam. Out of around 250 entries, I'm so honoured to have ranked 7th for story and 20th overall, and to have received an honourable mention 🥹💖 Atropa can be played in the browser or using an emulator (or, if you have the hardware to do so, on an actual Game Boy Color). Because of the limitations of the GBC, it's still sort of janky, but I hope you can enjoy it regardless ☺️ Making something for the Game Boy got me thinking about 90s games and anime, so the artwork is inspired especially by Mato's artwork for the Pokémon Special manga.

Rameses III

Usermaatre Meryamun Ramesses III was Pharaoh from 26 March 1186-15 April 1155 BCE, the second pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty, the last pharaoh of the New Kingdom considered to have substantial power. During his reign, the decline of Ancient Egypt's political and economic power that began with those before him slowed. He was able to defeat the Sea Peoples, saving Egypt from completely collapsing like other empires during the Late Bronze Age collapse.

His reign was marked with political chaos from the collapse and constant war to protect Egypt from invaders pushed by the chaos as well as internal political chaos. Part of the internal chaos was due to the cost of protecting the borders of Egypt slowly exhausting the treasury. This led to food rations to the elite royal tomb-builders being missed after a series of poor harvests, likely caused by the Hekla 3 eruptions in about 1160 BCE, for nearly two decades, until about 1140 BCE. This resulted in higher grain prices.

His death came through assassination. He was killed by the Harem conspiracy, a coup d'état where a minor wife, Tiye, wanted her son, Pentawer, to take the throne instead of Ramesses III's designated heir, Ramesses IV. She was able to recruit several officials and servants to deliver her letters, making it a two-fold conspiracy between the harem and officials. The harem was very restricted, so the overseer and clerk of the harem had to be brought in to reach beyond the harem. Ramesses III's throat was cut to the bone, resulting in a quick death.

By Unknown author - Nicholas Reeves, Richard H. Wilkinson: Das Tal der Könige. Geheimnisvolles Totenreich der Pharaonen. S. 160,

In the trials held afterward by Ramesses IV, 38 people were sentenced to death, either through being put to death by the state or by suicide. During the trial, some of those from the harem tried to seduce judges, but they were caught and the judges involved were severely punished. Tiye and Pentawer's tombs were emptied of any treasure and their names were stricken from everything but the judicial record of the trial, denying them an afterlife.

The Great Pharoah who defended Egypt against  invasion Couldn't protect himself from death 

Ramesses III was a great warrior he came to the throne at a challenging time he defended Egypt against invasion of foreign attack such a Sea people

A famous plot about Ramses III's death was called Harem Conspiracy it is a Theory about his death  It says that his second wife Tiye conspired against him in order to bring her son Pentawer to the throne and killed Ramses III. He was likely in the royal harem in the western tower of Madinat Habu when they attempted their conspiracy. It is believed that the scheme worked, Ramses III was killed, but the heir Ramesses IV survived and when he took the throne he put Tiye and Pentawere, along with many other members of the royal household on trial.

Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than anything even Greater Pharoah like Ramesses III

The murder of Pharaoh Ramesses III New research on the royal mummy reveals the pharaoh was assassinated by multiple assailants at once, coming at him from all sides with different weapons. In addition to having his throat slit, advanced imaging techniques have revealed the pharaoh’s big toe was cut off. And the injury may have been deliberately kept secret by Egyptian embalmers. New research on the royal mummy reveals the pharaoh was assassinated by multiple assailants at once, coming at him from all sides with different weapons. The New Kingdom Pharaoh Ramesses III held reign over Egypt from 1186 to 1155 B.C. Ancient documents reveal that one of his wives, Tiye, meant to have him assassinated in order to get her son Pentawere onto the throne. Pentawere was second to his half-brother Amun-her-khepeshef, but in a plot that involved servants, administrators, and other members of the royal household, Tiye plotted to kill Ramesses III and overthrow his successor to name Pentawere pharaoh. The pharaoh was killed, but the conspirators were brought to trial for his murder, and all – including Tiye and Pentawere – were executed. When appointed pharaoh, Amun-her-khepeshef became Ramesses IV. A new book by Egyptologist Zahi Hawass and Cairo University radiologist Sahar Saleem called ‘Scanning the Pharaohs: CT Imaging of the New Kingdom Royal Mummies’ describes the recent findings. Using computed tomography (CT) scanning, the team was able to find new evidence linked to an ancient plot to kill Ramesses III, according to Live Science. Earlier research led the team to discover the cause of Ramesses III’s death – a cut to the throat with a sharp knife, severing his trachea and esophagus. This would have killed him instantly. The team has now found that the pharaoh sustained injuries from different types of weapons around the time of his death, revealing that more than one attacker was involved. Ramesees III’s big toe was likely chopped off with an axe, Sahar Saleem told Live Science, which can be determined based on the shape of his fractured toe bones. As this wound is anatomically distant from the killing strike, and was inflicted with a different weapon, the researcher explained there must have been another assailant.
