->''Transcend Sandbox''

''Mummy Sandbox'' is a surreal AdventureGame made by z_bill. You are a {{Mummy}} exploring forgotten sandboxes. Rebuild your body, exhume corpses, and become the mummy you always wanted to be!

''Mummy Sandbox'' was featured as part of the ''Haunted [=PS1=] Demo Disc: 2021'' collection, before releasing as a standalone full game on October 8th, 2021 on Steam and Itch.

!!''Mummy Sandbox'' contain examples of:

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: If the player gets themselves stuck at any point, they can pause the game and manually respawn themselves.
* CoolShades: Grabbing the pair of glasses will allow the mummy to see better, as well as changing the music theme.
* ExcusePlot: You're a mummy. Collect ribbons, build sandcastles, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick dig up graves]]!
* FrankensteinsMonster: One of the corpses the player can dig up, which the game warns the player about attaching the head to the dog's body. [[spoiler:Which later serves as the FinalBoss of the game.]]
* GraveRobbing: The game averts the usual way this trope is with mummies by having the mummy being the one to exhume bodies and [[RobbingTheDead taking items from them]].
* FacelessEye: The mummy starts as a single eye being collected by a ribbon to form a "mummy."
* JumpScare: [[spoiler:After putting the Frankenstein head on the dog, the game does a sudden closeup with the creature roaring.]]
* {{Mummy}}: As indicated in the title. ''Mummy Sandbox'' however takes the minimalist route possible by having the player start as nothing but a FacelessEye and a pile of ribbons before making their own body by collecting more.
* QuirkyWork: "Weird" would be the most accurate word to describe this game.
* ZeroEffortBoss: In keeping with the casual tone of the game, the one "enemy" that the player encounters only strips them of their ribbons, making them collect them again to return to their full walking speed.
