The following is copied from Randy's announcement on the Just Adventure
Forum. The FAQ section at the Agon
homepage is very informative.
First Adventure Game
Series, Agon to Hit the Scene
Adventure game developer Private Moon Studios is to release Agon,
the first adventure game series ever. Agon is a pure adventure game
that comes in fourteen episodes over a period of two years. Each
episode is self-contained and can be fully enjoyed in itself, but
also contributes to the story of Professor Samuel Hunt's adventures.
Storyline
Professor Samuel Hunt works for the British Museum at the turn of
the 20th century.
Through his eyes, the player is likely to discover documents and
objects in the offices
and stores of the Museum. Based on these, Professor Hunt sets out
to discover ancient
secret board games in twelve parts of the world, and finally solve
an age-old mystery.
Features
Each episode features interaction with other characters, several
puzzles, and as
a master puzzle, a board game to be played against one of the characters.
Developers
took great pains to include relatively unknown board
games that also fit with the cultural context that the given episode
is taking place
in. Soundtrack also relies on the music of the local culture.
Special options
You can play the board games at the end of each episode over the
Internet with other
gamers. Or the board games can be played offline, against your
computer. The game's website www.agongame.com
provides additional reading, cheats
and hints between episodes.
