It received a sequel, entitled Riddle of the Sphinx II, in 2003. Gameplay and plotThe gameplay is similar to any game in the post-Myst style, where players navigate through 360 panoramic screens and manipulate items to advance. The game's plot is about a young archaeologist in Egypt who searches for his or her missing mentor, Sir Gil Blythe Geoffreys.[1] Development{{Quotebox|quote="The features, imperfections, and architecture have been replicated for total immersion. (The only recognizable elements we intentionally omitted are the graffiti currently defacing the Great Pyramid and most other monuments.)"|width=200px|align=left|source=- Riddle of the Sphinx team on meticulousness of design.[2]}}The game took five years to make. The designers, Jeff & Karen Tobler, were enamoured by the beauty and intricacy with which the Egyptians built their architecture, as well as the mysteries and secrets they held.[3] The developers aimed to make the 3D models and renderings in the game as accurate as possible, for instance recreating the Sphinx and Sphinx Enclosure in exact detail.[4][3] The team asked an expert to provide an authentic translation and editing of a scroll using the style and grammar used by the royal scribes during Chephren's reign[5] They did extensive research into the history and culture of Egypt, and uploaded a lot of their research onto their website.[6][7] On the website, the team sold authentic egyption merchandise in association with A&E's Merchant Affiliation Program.[8] Riddle of the Sphinx was modeled and rendered almost exclusively with Strata StudioPro, while CyberMesh exports were used for certain occasions.[9] The game contains full-Screen, Interactive 360° Panoramas (QTVR).[10] The game soundtrack was composed and performed entirely by Jeff Tobler.[11] The game was formally announced on June 10, 1998.[12] In October 1999 it was announced the game would have a Spring 2000 release.[13] {{-}}ReceptionSalesMarket research firm PC Data estimated North American retail sales of 4,955 copies for Riddle of the Sphinx during 2000, all of which derived from December.[14] The firm reported another 99,429 retail sales of the game in North America during 2001,[15] and 36,634 during the first six months of 2002.[16] According to DreamCatcher, sales of Riddle of the Sphinx reached 250,000 copies in the United States alone by March 2003.[17] PC Data placed its total North American retail sales for 2003 at 16,747 units;[18] during the first two months of 2004, its jewel case SKU sold 777 copies and its original box SKU sold 1,537 copies in the region.[19] Critical reviews{{Video game reviews| GSpot = 7.4/10[20] | IGN = 5.3/10[21] | AdvGamers = {{Rating|2|5}}[22] | rev1 = Computer Games Magazine | rev1Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[23] | rev2 = MacHome Journal | rev2Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[24] | rev3 = The Electric Playground | rev3Score = 7/10[25] | rev4 = Just Adventure | rev4Score = A[26] }} According to the review aggregation website Metacritic, Riddle of the Sphinx received "mixed or average reviews" from critics.[27] IGN gave it a 5.3 out of 10, commenting "Is this an oasis of adventure gaming in a barren desert of crap titles? Nah ... it's just a mirage."[21] The Riddle of the Sphinx website won numerous awards,[28] and the game's soundtrack was highly praised.[11] {{-}}LegacyRiddle of the Sphinx II was released in 2003. A Kickstarter campaign was set up in 2015 to have a 15th anniversary edition of the game. The team met their original goal but did not meet their stretch goal.[29][30] See also
