Infidel

In Infidel, you play a not-so-noble adventurer whose moral compass is spinning like a broken ceiling fan. As a treasure-hungry explorer poking around an ancient Egyptian tomb, you quickly learn that the ruins don’t appreciate uninvited guests. The text-adventure format means your imagination does the heavy lifting, conjuring traps, crypts, and your character’s growing sense of “maybe I shouldn’t have done this.” It’s a game that’s equal parts puzzle-solving and schadenfreude, as your protagonist’s questionable attitude comes back to bite them—sometimes literally. Sharp writing, clever designs, and a deliciously ironic tone make it a classic worth revisiting.
