Part interactive novel, part point-and-click adventure, Daughter of Serpents (1992) is one of those games that makes you feel like you stumbled onto a forgotten pulp novel. Set in 1920s Alexandria, it’s dripping with mystery, occult secrets, and serpentine cults. The art style is gorgeous in a hand-drawn sort of way, and the dialogue has the right amount of intrigue and melodrama. You’ll either get lost in its atmosphere or get annoyed that it moves slower than molasses. But for those who love Lovecraftian vibes and stories where “archaeology” means “probably cursed forever,” it’s a gem worth dusting off.
poossibly a good game some of the graphics for its age are very good but through its life the game has been modifed and changed from my experience it is very difficult to play as a lot of the original game appears to have been lost so difficult to determine what errors there are . Ive tracked the basic game and it involves a kind of detective trying to track down a serpent cult in egypt with elements of horror culture of the forties , if anone has the original game have a copy of the game for a reasonable price which does not infringe copyright i would like to hear from them .i have seen copies offered at up to £100 but im afraid the game is hardly worth that as it is noted that it was quite short when it first came out and quite limited in appeal
