+title: When facing the Curse of the Sun God, sunscreen won't save you

+
+_Total Eclipse_, a real-time, curse-breaking, 3D adventure (with a dash of Indiana Jones flair), is ready for public testing!
+
+Originally unleashed by Incentive Software Ltd. in 1988, [_Total Eclipse_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Total_Eclipse) added yet another groundbreaking title to their repertoire of revolutionary games.
+
+Step into the shoes of a heroic archeologist on October 26, 1930, as a total solar eclipse akin to the one happening today over North America looms over Cairo. Knowing of the Ardognus prophecy, created by the powerful high priest Hahmid III, you must find and destroy the hidden shrine devoted to Ra before the eclipse occurs.
+
+Embark on this exciting journey packed with a trusty gun for blasting through doors or dispatching undead mummies; a compass to guide you through a treacherous pyramid; a wristwatch to track the precious time left; and a water bottle to fight dehydration (youâre only human after all).
+
+Can you solve this ancient mystery within 120 minutes and avert catastrophe, or will Rah's wrath obliterate the moon?
+
+Our modern reimplementation of the Freescape engine features graphics using hardware mode (OpenGL) at arbitrary resolution. The initial _Total Eclipse_ support includes DOS (EGA/CGA modes), ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC. More releases are coming at a later date. Additionally, there are [three playable demos](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/demos/freescape/) if you want to test the game. Please [contact us](https://www.scummvm.org/contact/) if you have some other release or demo.
+
+To play any of these supported releases, you will need a [daily development build](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily). As always, please submit your bug reports to our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).
