XIDER Games has announced "Ankh: Curse of the Scarab King" for the Nintendo DS. Following the success of the popular point and click adventures games for the PC, the DS version will be available in September 2008.

Mischievous Assil steals his father’s key to get into the Scarab King’s tomb. As he and his friends party away inside, their search for a bottle opener rudely awakens a Mummy. Unhappy at being disturbed from his peaceful slumber the Mummy casts a curse upon Assil leaving him with just 24 hours to live.

The stylus or the d-pad can be used to direct Assil around his environment, discovering clues to help solve puzzles and progress through the quest. Players will need to examine every bit of their surroundings, as objects that look harmlessly decorative may play a key role in moving the quest forwards.
