Players will also have a chance to discuss the game’s Legacy Tests, which were created by those who led the monument construction in the previous A Tale in the Desert. The game is currently in its fourth iteration, also known as a Telling.
Eschewing the hack-and-slash gameplay of other MMOs, A Tale in the Desert places players in ancient Egypt, where they work together to meet the challenges posed by the game’s seven disciplines. Mr. Tepper plays the roles of Sami, who aspires to be the new Pharoah after his father’s death, and Wahim, Sami’s brother who opposes his sibling’s attempt to take control. Wahim places the disciplines’ challenges before the players, a role taken on by a character known as The Stranger in previous Tellings.
