/// The Ancient Art of Storytelling \\\
*** WELCOME TO A JOURNEY INTO ANOTHER WORLD ***
Welcome, brave traveller! You're about to enter a world that couldn't be
more fascinating as a graphic adventure. And what's even more about it...
YOU'RE INSIDE THE STORY! It's not the pixel-hero on your screen who's the
main character in the story, it's YOU! And that's why I like these games
so much. The game also adapts itself to you. In your imagination, you'll
see the places and characters you'll encounter the way YOU WANT TO SEE
THEM. Not the way the artist would like to see them.
Welcome to the first New Genesis adventure! A long and dangerous journey
lies ahead, and it's completely up to you to overcome all obstacles. "The
Timeless Empire I" lets you control five characters, all with their own
abilities. To finish the story, you'll need to combine their abilities.
Oh, just by the way. There's absolutely nothing you can do wrong in this
game. There are no "dead ends". Thus, you won't have to save your game
every minute.
Last but not least, there are many multiple-solution puzzles in the game.
Well, that's nothing new, you might think. You're wrong! Unlike other games
where you change the solution path by an option in the main menu, THE
TIMELESS EMPIRE ALLOWS YOU TO CHANGE THE STORY THROUGH YOUR IDEAS AND
ACTIONS! There are many end sequences, and everything you're doing will
affect the end scene. So when you find a second solution to a puzzle,
play to the end! Of course, it might be that a certain puzzle may not
change the end scene, but that it allows you to solve another puzzle in
another way. And... some puzzles have even more than two solutions! Anyway,
don't forget that even sub-solutions of multiple-solution puzzles may have
sub-sub-solutions!
Talking about puzzles, here are the different puzzles you may come across:
- "Normal" puzzles with one solution
- Multiple-solution puzzles
- Puzzles you don't need to solve at all
- Puzzles which the computer solves for you if they're too difficult for
you
"The Timeless Empire I" has no score. That's simply because there are so
many ways of solving the game that a score would be totally meaningless.
THE ATMOSPHERE
--------------
Other than the other fantasy-adventures on the market, "The Timeless
Empire" is no - um - "fairy-tale" fantasy, but rather a middle-age fantasy,
such as the TSR novels. I always wanted such a game, but there was no such
game, so I had to write my own one. The language remains close to those of
the well-known fantasy novels.
PLEASE WRITE ME!
----------------
I'd be glad to hear your opinion about "The Timeless Empire"! Write me,
if and how you liked the game, what I could do better, etc., etc.! Of
course, you may criticize the game, for even this helps me to do it better
the next time. And reason number one: I get so few letters, I'd be happy
to find a letter for me in letter-box...
GOOD-BYE!
---------
Ok, and now I wish you much fun with "The Timeless Empire". And while you
enjoy it, I'm already working on my next game...
Until soon!
