This followup to "A Quiet Weekend In Capri" is an adventure game set in the
island of Capri, mostly in the upper regions called Anacapri. You play the role of
Dr. Nico N, an expert of the ancient civilizations. You are invited to Anacapri to
accomplish a very difficult task: find the extremely powerful, but malicious Obsidian
Disk. But what is this Obsidian Disk? Why is it so dangerous? Quickly you will find
out that what you think as reality is in fact an illusion - the truth is far beyond
what you have imagined. It's an explosive mix of mythology, literature, legends and
history of the island of Capri. You will interact with real townspeople, legendary
and historical Anacapri characters, such as famous doctor and writer Axel Munthe,
philosopher Gunnar Adler-Karlsson, as well as several mythical characters such as
Nereus, Poseidon, the Siren and the Nereids. Your quest for the Obsidian Disk will
plunge you into the magical scenery of the Capri island; you will explore the deep
Blue Grotto, sail the sea around the Faraglioni, traverse Tiberius' Roman villas of
Damecuta and Palazzo a Mare, climb up Mount Solaro, wander across the Path of the
Forts, visit the mystical hermitage of Cetrella, Villa San Michele and the Philosophical
Park. Your journey will eventually lead to the final upsetting revelation and a
thrilling alternate ending. It features an intriguing story mixing history, myths
and legend of the island of Capri, dozens of logical puzzles perfectly embedded in
the story line, more than 40 characters of the present and the past to interact with,
and more than 8000 full screen pictures of the island. Panoramic views can be scrolled
right/left and up/down, and the original soundtrack is composed by Silvio Savarese.
There's also a game in the game: the original Neapolitan Scopa game, featuring
Artificial Intelligence technology. In "Walking mode", where you can visit the entire
game area as a tourist. There's more than 50 hours of game play. In 2010, an enhanced version was included in a two-game collection called Mysteries of Capri along with the first game in the series, 2003's A Quiet Weekend In Capri. |
