A Tale in the Desert

“A Tale in the Desert” is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMO) from Desert Nomad Studios set in ancient Egypt. The game centers on crafting and trade, combined with exciting social and political challenges—and there is absolutely no combat. The game features one of the most complex crafting and trading systems ever developed. Added to this are trials in various disciplines that challenge players to collaborate or compete against one another. Be creative in the arts or build massive structures; create complex puzzles to challenge other players. The game is a fascinating sociological experiment that raises questions such as: “Will players cooperate on a project if working against each other could potentially yield more benefits for one of them?”
