In Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, the player falls into the role of a demi-god, Sphinx, and the undead corpse of Tutankhamen. The game starts with the player controlling Sphinx on a simple mission: to retrieve the Blade of Osiris, and return to his master, Imhotep. However, the plot soon progresses into disaster, and both Sphinx and the mummy are sent on a much greater quest. While on the adventure, players obtain a multitude of items to complete the game's many challenges and defeat the sinister and suave Set, the god of chaos and evil.
Sphinx was well received by much of the gaming community. It was praised by critics for its unique characters and compelling storyline. The game's graphics were also highly praised for their high quality.
A common complaint for the game was the lack of voice-acting to coincide with the text-heavy dialogue.
In the game, one of the save points in the Mummy section immediately following a cut scene can cause a door to be permanently sealed if play is not immediately continued. This traps the mummy and there is no way to reverse the action. This forces the player to start over from a point fairly deep into the game.
