[edit] Plot
Based partially on the life of Genghis Khan, the plot involves an unidentified character (the player) who has appeared in the Stevenson Museum where ancient Mongolian artifacts are being displayed. Your character must find out who he/she is and who the other people in the museum are and solve the mystery of strange goings on at the museum.
[edit] Gameplay
The game is a live action first person adventure with 360 degree movement.
[edit] Development History
The game was the first to use SouthPeak Interactive's "Video Reality" engine and was also the first game to be made entirely on 35 mm film. During the development stage, the game was advertised heavily in gaming magazines as being a full motion video game with the interactivity that was missing in previous first person adventures.
[edit] Reception
At the time, the popularity of adventure and full motion video games had all but vanished and the game was a commercial failure. Critics mostly gave the game less than favorable reviews as the boasted interactivity and realistic graphics were non-existent. The video screen was much smaller than the screen size and contained blurry visuals, and the fact that the main character was both mute and suffering from amnesia severely limited interaction with gameplay characters.
