    I SPOIL YOU DON'T FUCKING READ BELOW HERE DON'T FUCKING DO IT.

    Is this another dimension? Is this the result of constants and variables? Is this more Bookers? Is Amanada Anna? Can giant mechanical birds feel love?

    There is always a lighthouse, a city, and a man.

    There is always kidnapping your daughter through the space tube.

    The Player starts the game in their new cottage on the Oregon coast. According to the Players diary, he/she (personal effects in the new cottage, such as a handbag, suggest a female protagonist, but the gender is never explicitly defined) is a struggling writer who has just moved in, and recently met his eccentric next door neighbor, Dr. Jeremiah Krick, and his daughter Amanda, who live in a nearby lighthouse. Glancing out of the window, he sees the lighthouse struck by lightning and, afterwards, begin to glow strangely. On the Player's answering machine, Dr. Krick has left a frantic message begging the player to come over to his house and watch Amanda.

    Upon arriving at Dr. Kricks house, the player discovers the front door locked, darkness inside, and silence. After turning on the power and entering, the player finds Amanda in her crib, alone. Once the player has explored the house, a snap is heard, and Amanda begins crying. When the player enters her room, the "Dark Being", described in Dr. Kricks journal, takes Amanda, and jumps through a portal. At this point, the Player can either follow him through, or use Dr. Krick's laboratory to construct their own portal. Either way, the player ends up on a rocky beach in a parallel world. Krick's notes on this make reference to the real physical concept of Godel's universe.

    As the player explores 6 different locations in the parallel world, the goal becomes clear. He must build an "Ionizing Cannon," whose 7 pieces are scattered between the different locations. Then, the player must use this cannon to capture the Dark Being, and save Dr. Krick and Amanda.

    I love the really tepid box quotes:

    "could well be the next graphic adventure blockbuster"

    "It certainly looks impressive"

    If we can just dig up a few more... just a few... we could finally consider "giant robot bird what keeps children captive" a stock character archetype.

    Honestly I think the box art alone is funny as hell, especially now.

    Wait, this boxart is real? I must own a copy of this... this perfection. Good thing I don't like adventure games so I can "enjoy" this game at the ultimate level of irony.

    I owned this game, and right now am staring at CD #1 along with Outpost 2, and Darby the Dragon (perhaps the best adventure game ever).

    I remember playing this up until the ass monster ( which was really creepy back then, and honestly playing the game was really scary ) sent me through a portal back into the lighthouse, and my 12 yearold self was like Fuck that, I never want to piss my paints again.

    Every once and a while I still kind of want to play it though.

    I had a good laugh from those.
