I decided to place Thoth and his traps under Timed Mission, due to their nature of wasting your time. Sekhmet went under Interface Screw for her role when searching for the last artifact.

''Artifacts and Antiquity'' is a short first person horror game created by Creator/ZedTechnician
Gracie has not had the best of luck lately. The computer company she worked for went under after it turned out they used extremely volatile materials for their products. However, after 38 rejections from various jobs, she was hired at Stahl & Co. Shipping Company, and things finally seemed to be looking up...
...at least until an Egyptian goddess came out of one of the artifacts warning Gracie and her co-workers, the fairy Faye and the shadowman Mike, that several important artifacts they received were stolen from her fellow deities, and they were angry.
Now, the trio need the goddess, who introduces herself as Nameless, to find the stolen artifacts and return them to the gods before the mortal world is destroyed by their wrath. To accomplish this task, Gracie will need to receive visions from Nameless to find the artifacts while using the cameras to guide Faye and Mike to their locations, dodging the servants of the gods and avoiding divine traps.

* BenevolentBoss: The Stahl brothers may not be the most moral individuals (Faye points out how they deal in things "nobody else wants to deal with" and run a moonshine racket on weekends), but they care for their workers, and one of the bad endings mentions them hunting down the people who gave them the stolen artifacts and endangered their employees.
