In this not so distant past, the far side of the moon conjured up the most
fascinating theories. Even some of the world's greatest scientific minds believed
that our natural satellite had an atmosphere that could, and did, support various
life forms. Based on the premise of Verne's novel, VOYAGE follows as a group of
scientists create a space capsule with the intent of landing on the moon's surface.
Where as in the novel, their mission fails, leaving them floating high above the
lunar surface, in this fascinating adventure, they succeed. As scientist Michel
Ardan, players are able to wander the surface of the moon and witness the explosion
of plant life at dawn. Soon they will encounter the Selenite City, the home of an
ancient but highly intelligent race, the Selenites. With each step of the journey,
questions arise as to the fate of the Selenite people: Did they deteriorate, like
so many of the statues they left behind? Did they leave the surface to seek refuge
in the center of the moon? Once players answer these questions, they may find their
way to back to earth with news of their fantastic discoveries. The game features
a variety of ingenious puzzles and a unique, built in Intelligence Management
system. Actions made by the player throughout the game, as well as the puzzles they
solve, are awarded points, raising their score and earning the respect of the
Selenites. Along the journey, players will interact with a huge cast of mysterious
characters and creatures. |
