-----------------

THE SEAS OF TITAN

-----------------

STATUS: 80% complete - alpha version.

-----------------

A serialized interactive fiction set in Europe (and far beyond!) between 1923 and the present day. The gripping adventures of a young Swiss mountain man who finds himself having to investigate a case that will take him beyond the boundaries of the natural world, and in the meantime unearth the mysteries that dwell in his own family.

The first episode, All the Burning Cities, is almost ready and will deal with the beginning of a wonderful journey, from the Swiss Alps to the most remote salt flats of parallel universes.

You will meet scientists, professors, aliens, gigantic creatures and divinities, between the high life of Europe at the beginning of the 20th century and the frozen recesses of a cosmos waiting to be explored.

-----------------

The style of this epic interactive adventure is that of vanilla science fiction, based on the literary imprints of geniuses such as Ray Bradbury and H.G. Wells, with a stylish story and a language in step with the times.

-----------------

The characters (for now):

  • The PLAYER (Urs Meier) - Impaired since childhood due to a knee malformation, he abandoned his studies very early - despite being part of a family of scientists - convinced that his disability placed him below the rest of men. Now he lives alone, after the passing of his father, in a house in the mountains, where he waits for something, perhaps, one day, to happen and change his life forever.
  • FATHER (Dietbert Meier, missing) - With a brusque and not at all empathetic character, Uls's father was one of the leading scientists at the Universities of Bern and Frankfurt, where he participated in the first studies on quantum mechanics and its relationship with classical physics. Disappeared for some time, he has left signs in the protagonist that will hardly be washed away by the mere passage of time.
  • MOM (Adelfriede Meier Braun, missing) - A strong-willed and brilliant woman, plagued by mental illness in old age, she pioneered scientific concepts largely rejected by the establishment, distrustful of a female researcher. After raising her son vehemently, pushing him to believe in himself where his father brought him down, she finally succumbed to the illness - now also physical - and fled, probably going to die alone in some nameless city.

-----------------

The final games will be available for a full set of retro systems, like Commodore64, Amiga, Spectrum, MSX, CPC, Atari8bit and AtariST, as well as all modern platforms (MacOs, Windows, Linux, iOs and Android, prvided you have the proper interpreter).
