Solar Path
Game Idea
An adventure game about the future, ancient civilizations and discoveries.
Story In the year 2180 an expedition from Earth reached the small planet near the Southern Cross constellation, which is assumed to be suitable for living.
Main character (Jack Wallace) and his companion, talking llama (Johnson) are working in the corps of Engineers. They were sent to the planet as a part of an exploration mission and found a lot of ancient ruins suspiciously reminiscent of Earth's Inca civilization. In the building,which was looking like the temple, they found a remains of a stone gates right in the middle of the chamber under the big hole in the roof. Once they reassembled the parts of the gate, an “unexplained event of flashes and sparks” happened. Our characters were teleported on Earth and back in time in the year of 1911. They found themselves in the jungles near Machu Pikchu area in Peru, where they met Hiram Bingham, an american explorer and treasure hunter, who was where with the Yale Peruvian Expedition. Hiram told our characters about the Inca's myths on time travel and Isla del Sol. Isla del Sol is an island in the middle of Titicaca lake near Cusco, which supposed to be a birth place of Inca's first emperor and and also a possible location for another “teleportation gate” Main characters with the help of Hiram should find they way out of the jungles and travel to the Cusco area in order to get back in the future. But they faced with another trouble — Augusto Malicias, an evil gold hunter, who wants to find the Gates of Sun, the way to travel through the time and space. Gameplay |
During the game, characters will have to deal with the wild jungles and their habitats (snakes, jaguars and others).
You will use Jack's engineering abilities and Johnson's encyclopedic knowledge to deal with the hazards. For example, Jack could built a bridge to cross the mountain river, or make a trap to catch the sidekicks of Augusto. Some of your equipment from future doesn't work, but you will have the tool box (with morphing wrench, hammer, solar-powered welder and a lots of other small things). In addition to that, Jack has a stun-gun to stop enemies, compass and infrared detector. He can talk to Johnson via radio system in his costume. In some missions you will control Johnson while exploring the areas, which a difficult to access for a human. |
