Shadows of Petra

Shadows of Petra is a 2D pixel art platformer that explores the rich cultural heritage of Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Set across iconic locations such as the Wadi Rum, the Siq, and the Treasury, the game features a unique blend of cultural storytelling, traditional art, and stance-based mechanics inspired by local wildlife (Camel, Scorpion, Falcon). Players navigate through platforming challenges, solve puzzles, and interact with culturally accurate environments, artifacts, and characters, all designed to respectfully represent Middle Eastern culture and Petra’s history.
