The Temple

Thomas confronts Dr. Rashid frozen in temporal stasis as a living statue, conscious but unable to move. Descending into cavern depths, he meets the Architects—ancient alien beings who created the altar network.

Thomas discovers the temple is deliberately buried by ancient priests. He finds modern coffins of recent victims and reads an archaeologist's journal documenting the pharaoh's corrupting voice. Encountering aquifer traps and animated mummies, Thomas learns the curse bridges millennia.

Thomas awakens trapped in an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus. Disoriented and suffocating, he discovers it belongs to Pharaoh Kha-em-Waset, a condemned ruler. Finding Violet's locket offers proof of his original reality.
