Description

A THRILLING STORY

The year is 1888, the war against the ruthless "Nation" is coming to a head and threatens to completely destroy the alternate land of Hemera. As a last resort to save their world, Jules Verne and Captain Nemo embark on a search for the source of the power of Atlantis aboard the infamous submarine Nautilus.

If the legends are to be believed, an ancient artefact lies buried there that has the power to change the course of history: the Flame of Hephaestus! An artefact whose mighty power was once responsible for both the rise and fall of legendary Atlantis.

On his journey, Jules Verne will not only discover unimaginable wonders and mysteries - he must also confront a dark and seemingly overpowering entity whose sole ambition is to eradicate the power of imagination from the minds of all the people of Hemera ... including his!

Aside from slapping the names from Verne's stories, the plot of this game has little to do with Jules Verne or his works. The control is slow and not intuitive. I would rather it is a point-and-click, instead of pure

Interesting and atmospheric game with beautiful pixel graphics. Not a long game, about 4-5h of content if you explore all of it. Could be better, could be worse. Recommended if you find the setting interesting

Okay so, I will say the game was enjoyable. The Art, the story, and inspiration was all there. With Prior knowledge of what was kind of going on really did help to digest some of the events. So by me 10/10.
