Trending Pharaoh (2016)

Trending Pharaoh is a satirical idle/clicker game set in Ancient Egypt, where pharaohs and queens compete for social media dominance. Players manage the vanity‑driven lives of rulers like Ramses, Cleopatra, Xerxes, and Nefertiti, posting on parody platforms such as Meowerrr, SphynxBook, Insta‑Ra, and Tinubis. The goal: gain followers, boost influence, and outshine rival monarchs in a tongue‑in‑cheek take on modern online culture

Storyline

The arrival of “ancestral social networks” in Ancient Egypt sparks a popularity war among the elite. As a newly crowned ruler, you’ll craft posts, share lavish moments, and flaunt your wealth to climb the follower charts. Inspired by the Ludum Dare 36 theme “Ancient Technology,” the game reimagines how pharaohs might have embraced — and abused — the power of social media
