Description First Person
"
Your character for Pompei and, I presume, the two adventures that are yet to come is Adrian Blake, an explorer and well-respected cartographer who lives in England. While on an assignment in 1918 near the town of Erevan in the region that is now known as Armenia, Adrian becomes gravely ill. Stranded in a cave, Adrian is unable to move due to his illness, and his chances for survival grow dim. As his hopes fade, an apparition of the goddess Ishtar (Aphrodite) appears, offering to cure his malady if he professes his love for her. Adrian, despite the desperation of his situation, refuses Ishtar, because he loves Sophia, his bride-to-be, who is back in England awaiting his return. Ishtar becomes angry and vows to seek retribution. Somehow, Adrian survives, because now it is one year later, on the eve of his eagerly anticipated wedding to Sophia, when he discovers that Sophia is missing. The grief-stricken Adrian searches for an explanation in his manuscripts. Ultimately, his thoughts turn to Ishtar, and he discovers an ancient curse of Ishtar that just might explain Sophia's disappearance. Further study in his manuscripts reveals that to save Sophia and bring her back, Adrian must save the "personification" of Sophia three times in three different eras. Hence, we have the promise of a trilogy of historical adventure games.
