FOREWARNED sends players into haunted ancient Egyptian tombs as investigators seeking treasure, lore, and a way to banish the evil within. Its expedition format supports solo play as well as cooperative groups, with public online lobbies also available.
The investigation has a concrete objective: use available tools to identify the mummy haunting a tomb, then enter its inner chamber and retrieve a sacred relic. Cursed Mejai can physically manifest to block escape, and each has distinct characteristics and abilities, so survival involves recognizing threats and exploiting their weaknesses. Tombs are procedurally generated, with traps, puzzles, creatures, and other discoveries contributing to varied expeditions.
Players can choose among twelve map types set across the Sahara, while positional proximity and global voice chat support different kinds of team communication. The deeper route offers a risk-reward choice: leave with collected treasure or descend to the lowest level to perform a ritual intended to banish the evil. Death also changes a player's role, allowing a return as a Mejai servant who may assist survivors or serve its new master.
