Lost Gate (Little Missionary)
Episode 1
|
The Lost Gate (Little Missionary) is episode one of an undisclosed number (likely two) of adventure game episodes with a twofold purpose. On one level, the game is a child-friendly title to entertain. On another, the story makes allusions to Christian beliefs found in the New Testament. Dom Rodzinny Fundacia is a ministry based in Poland that includes amongst its roles as attempting to make the lives of Poland’s thirty thousand orphans better (see www.fdr.jezus.pl for more details). As such, the game is released free to the public but ask that those who can make a donation to their cause. The game uses the AdventureMaker engine and is simply stunning with its vibrant use of color. The music is all original and has the cartoon quality that children enjoy. The storyline is certainly nothing new but children are likely to be entranced by the colors and characters. Appropriately, the protagonist is an orphan. Adults, too, can enjoy it-I certainly did and look forward to episode two. Anyone familiar with other AdventureMaker games will feel at home instantly with the interface.
They have requested that anyone interested in making a donation or with helping out in the making of episode two contact them on fdr@jezus.pl or mradek@hoga.pl.
Introduction
My name’s David. I’m eight. I’ve lived in this orphanage all my life. My best friend, Steve, has been asked to stay with a family for the holidays. He knew I was upset when he told me he was going but he told me there was a surprise in his room. That’s where story started…
Steve’s Room
In Steve’s room I found a red book on his bookshelf. There was a wooden ball under his bed. I took both of these with me. On his closet door there was a note that said, “King of Kings, Lord of Lords”. I opened the closet and there was a joystick on the wall next to a spyhole! I looked through the spyhole and there was a keypad! I noticed that if I pressed certain buttons in sequence they stayed lit and after every four a light lit up one of the yellow lights.
The large light started blinking so I pushed it and the back of the closet opened into a passage. I followed it to a computer room.
Secret Computer Room
The computer wasn’t working so I looked around. I found a smiley, which I took with me. I found another switch on a machine in the front of the room that turned something on but needed a password. It didn’t take long. The minister had been here only yesterday to tell us about Jesus. I went over to the computer, which was working now. Suddenly, I felt strange. I was sucked into the computer and then to a strange land.
Path in the Land inside the Computer
I was in a strange world with mushroom like trees. I backed away but couldn’t go anywhere else. I picked up a shovel that was lying around. I went back to where I first came into this world. I dug up a chest at the base of one of the mushroom trees but it was locked. Then I saw the sign that said “David’s house”. Wow! I had a house. I followed the path to the house.
David’s House
The house was locked so I had a look for some way to get in. In a barrel next to the house I found another two smileys. I found a rock behind the barrel. I threw the rock at the light above the door and took the gold key hidden in it. This wasn’t the right key. I thought for a minutes and then remembered the chest. I went back to the chest on the path.
Path
The gold key fit perfectly in the chest. Inside the chest were three holes that would fit the smileys perfectly. I put the smileys in and there was a blue key. I headed back to the house.
David’s House
The door unlocked with a click when I put the blue key in the lock. There wasn’t much in the house. On a table was a cute little mouse. It started talking! It was hungry. I told it that I would find it some food. Under the table I found a map, a metal ball and a glass ball. In the closet I found a strange machine that looked like plumbing in the bathroom back at the orphanage. I worked out that the wooden ball went at the top. The metal ball was a bit lower on the right and the glass ball went down the bottom.
A chest in the corner rose up and there was a passage to the cellar! I went down…
Cellar
The cellar was huge. There were racks of wine, a huge fridge, and a lectern thing in front of a metallic circle like a science fiction doorway. I got some cheese out of the fridge and went up to the lectern. The lectern had a gold key and a note on it. The note told a story of the Lost Gate. This had to be it! Had I been here before? The Lost Gate was broken a long time ago. Two of the pieces were with the scoundrel Bonifacy. The note said the Lost Gate would bring great power. It warned not to feed the horse. What did that mean? I walked up to the Lost Gate and collected a piece of the key. It looked like a puzzle piece. I went back upstairs.
David’s House
The mouse hungrily ate the cheese when I gave it to him. He told me to go to the town. I freed him from the cage with the gold key and we walked to the path.
Path
We followed the path into town using the map.
Town
The town was full of strange, pointed, colorful houses. All three I tried were locked. I walked to the left and went in a house with three round windows.
Three Window House
On either side of a long corridor, there were colorful pictures. At the end of the corridor, we went through a door into a library.
Library
There were tons of books here. A large table was in the middle and had paper and a lamp on it. I noticed a gap on the bookshelf just before the “K-M” section and put the book back on the shelf.
With a rumbling sound, the bookshelf moved and behind a wall was a secret room! We went in.
Secret Room
At first I only thought there was a column in the room. We looked around and found a machine behind it. I put the mouse in the hole at the bottom of the machine and had a look inside. I pulled a switch and the column rotated. Inside the column was a computer but it didn’t have a disk. We looked everywhere but couldn’t find it. We went back to entrance to town.
Entrance of Town
There were people in the town! The two men were brothers. I spoke with them and they started to believe my story. I showed them the piece of the key. He knew then that I was telling the truth and gave me the disk for the computer in the secret room. We went back to the secret room.
Secret Room
We put the disk in the computer but it wouldn’t work because it needed the sun! Remembering I had seen a sun before, we walked back to the corridor outside the library.
Corridor
The second colorful painting on the left side had a sun in it. I touched the sun and I heard something happen in the distance. We went back to the secret room.
Secret Room
The computer was working when we got back to it. The file told the story of the Lost Gate and mentioned Bonifacy’s change from priest to greedy man.
I’ll leave my story here. There is more to be told but that will come in the next part of my story…
