About this game

Deceived by the treacherous Vizier, I was led to unleash the Sands of Time curse upon the Sultan's kingdom. With little but an ancient dagger and a devious princess to aid me, I must undo my fatal mistake. Mine is a fight for survival… not glory.

Reverse, accelerate, and slow time itself with the almighty Sands of Time.
Master the Prince's speed, agility, and ferocious fighting skills.
Explore and survive the vast kingdoms of medieval Persia.
