The Timebuilders: Pyramid Rising is a proposal of Microids development studio addressed to enthusiasts of casual time management games. Inspired by the history and beliefs of ancient Egypt.

The main theme of the game is the reconstruction of the kingdom of pharaohs, which was destroyed after the god Amon-Re decided to punish people. The task of reconstruction was entrusted to the main architect - Senmut. Together with his helper (this role is played by the player) he tries to erect magnificent buildings again and at the same time to win the kindness of Egyptian gods.

A limited period of time has been set aside for the fulfilment of the assigned tasks.
