Maelstrom Obscura is an exciting adventure game delving into the misty world of conspiracies, myths and legends. Talk to theorists, debunkers, locals, witnesses, agencies and the military. Gather information and discover for yourself if some conspiracies, myths or legends are true or false, or what you believe them to be.

Investigate such cases as Yeti sightings in the Tibetan Plateau, the Roswell 1947 UFO crash, are soldiers being cloned into cyborgs for war?, the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, an Alien base at the Antarctic and the clandestine New World Order. Let Jed Turner be your guide...

Why are oil tankers sinking? Why are gold mines collapsing? Who took the key from the speedboat? Does the strange cube that Apache Chief Running Water gave you have special powers? What is the strange coin you acquired? Can you defeat a colossal squid? Ride on the back of an Orca, discover a shipwreck, navigate a speedboat passed dangerous rocks, drive a jeep, what is project Black Seed?, talk to a long lost race, can you get passed wild bobcats?, what lays in the caverns deep in Loch Ness? Explore a deserted, spooky castle, What lays within a giant hole in the Antarctic?

Six cases to crack to draw your own conclusions, depending on how your game progresses and your choices.

Multiple endings....

   * Investigate 6 cases in any order
   * Over 120 rooms
   * Over 60 characters fully voiced
   * Internal database to search for information about each case
   * Keep a record of notes using your Tablet...these are auto added and can also be added by you
   * Drive a speedboat and a jeep
   * Hours of game play
   * 1280 x 720 32-bit

Can you conclude all six cases?

This game is being made with the Adventure Game Studio (AGS) game engine (build 3.4.1.15).

I have recruited a large team to work on this game.

Very soon we will be adding this game to Kickstarter in the hope of  crowdfunding.

Please support us in making Maelstrom Obscura a reality.

A trailer is planned to be released in the autumn of 2019.

Looking sweet! But I think you might want to tone down the brightness on the cobblestones in front of the Loch Shop. They are burning my eyes out.

I love the idea of investigating the world of conspiracies and legends!
Nice and clean graphics too -- I would definitely get a pint at that inn.

Also, I really want to know how what looks like the legs from the statue of Augustus of Prima Porta ended in a Scottish castle. (laugh)

Best of luck with development!

Slasher

lorenzo:  The crumbled statue is actually Ancient Scotsman McGrew of McGrew castle.   (laugh)

lorenzo

Ancient feet, man. They all looked the same...  (laugh)
