You head further in, and are whisked away through a mysterious portal which transports you back in time, over two thousand years, to when this city was still standing and citizens walked the streets.Īs you step out of the temple which houses the portal, a man named Galerius greets you as a new arrival, and after a few key discoveries - such as you now being able to speak Latin - he says you need to see the Magistrate Sentius. Golden statues are everywhere, and soon you encounter the gold-covered body of Al, who left a note that says he's been stuck here for eternity. When you stumble upon the entry to the caverns that host the ruins of the Roman city, you begin to realize that something is not quite right.
Without much choice, and with just a flashlight, you head into the forest. If you do this, the woman promises to guide you and Al back to civilization on her boat. Al apparently went in to find some archeological treasures, and hasn't returned. You get to choose a name and a gender (though this selection is done via a coin with very unclear icons), and the woman asks you to head into the nearby Roman ruins to find her colleague Al. The adventure begins as players find themselves on a river bank, with a woman claiming to have saved you from certain drowning.
