Design and development of the first three of 5 acts were finished in 2003. The complete game was finally done in 2009. It was made with the 'Adventure Game Authoring Sytem' (AGAST). Almost nobody else raised such a controversial discussion regarding his historical relevancy than the ancient Egyptian pharao Akhenaten. Approximately 1350 B.C, as the "first montheist in world history", he dictated the sun god as the God of Egypt, symbolised by the solar disk Aten and declared the rest of the Egyptian gods redundant. A tempered opposition in the Egyptian population evolved from this religious revolution, which made sure that Akhenaten lapsed into Damnatio memoriae. Therefore his history is been considered as not proven for a long time. The recent discovery and positive identification of his mummy in a hidden and buried rock cut tomb far away from the valley of the kings, attracted enormous interest among the archaeological world. Less sensational publicity caused an artefact also found there. It is examined by a leading international research team behind closed doors in the labs of the company SamTec, which is responsible for financing the dig. One question came up quickly amongst some researchers, which significant role the artefact might have had during the founding of the Cult of Aten. Prof. Dr. Peter Wonciek, in his capacity as Professor of theoretical Physics at the Technical University Munich, is also part of the team. Yet as a physicist he is less interested in this particular question but much more interested in the pioneering physical characteristics of the research object. However, the protagonist Julian Hobler does not have a clue when he finds a letter from his former professor Wonciek in his letterbox, together with a plain ticket and a friendly invitation to come around to Egypt for a visit. Julian decides to accept the invitation right after two dubious contemporaries, you could label as dept-collectors, pop in for a visit and cause a gas explosion in his house. The trip to Egypt, primarily planned as a short trip, develops to a journey full of secrets, danger, revelations, and dramatic turns. |
