Plot
After the player's grand finish in Hauntbrooke, Pennsylvania, the Player was invited to see if they wanted to travel across the world. Agreeing, the Player joined the unique team known as The Branch. The Player is introduced to two people, stern and blunt chief Santos Gonçantes, and shy and goth detective Skylar Maupin. Santos described one of his favorite places to tour in the world were the Giza Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt. After informing Skylar to tour the place with the Player, they were sent into the hot sun.

A few hours after a bunch of panting and water bottles, they finally arrived at the Giza Pyramids. Skylar commented how boring both the Pyramids and the Chief are, but the Player noticed something much more interesting.. and bloodier. After telling Skylar, they get a closer look, and they discover the body of famous adventurer Paul Ralston, disemboweled on Cleopatra's throne. Coroner Ophélie Goodwin determined that the cause of death was blood loss from the stomach. An investigation began.

In the first chapter, the team first suspected water magnate Meredith Banks after the victim was found with her merchandise, along with mock Cleopatra Clea Hajjar after finding her plaque on the stairs to the throne. Later along the line, the team discovers the victim's assistant, Willie Scripps, after finding his glasses solution in the Giza Pyramid. After finding some oil on a bloody laurel, along with some food stains on the victim's body, they discover that the killer canoes and eats shawarma. After Skylar congratulated the Player on a splendid first chapter, they hear drums playing, along with someone shouting the word "Charge!"
