    Hopefully there are some accessibility options to turn the action/combat difficulty way down. I'm not gonna say no to a first person puzzle/adventure game.

     

    Troy Baker does seem to be becoming a go-to guy for games like this, but the voice he's doing here sounds enough like Indiana Jones not to faze me.

    You can play thtough a lot of their Wolfenstein games without big shootouts, if you play stealthily, so I wouldn't be surprised if this game took a classic Indy point and click approach and made full on combat completely optional, providing sneaking, puzzling or other ways past encounters, or at least heavily reduce the forces you'll have to face by using your head.

     

    Mind you that is my hope for the game, but I don't know what they'll do. The potential is there, but they also seem to focus a lot on the action setpieces in this game.

    It seems to be based on a conspiracy theory called "the great circle of ancient sites". It claims that a lot of ancient sites are aligned on a great circle on earth, close to the equator, and that is a sign of all these ancient civilizations secretly communicating and being more advanced than we thought.

     

    However, it boils down to simple statistics abuse, as a lot of ancient sites exist and you can draw various great circles through many of them.

     

    You could do the same thing if you'd randomly scatter dots around a sphere and after the drawing of a circle assign significance to all dots on the line.

     

    Looking forward to see how this game interpretes it :)

    After Dial of Destiny, The Great Circle is another name that might be about something cool once you know what it is, but sounds absolutely boring on the first impression 🫠

     

    RAIDERS of the LOST ark (hey an arc is part of a circle...)

     

    Temple of DOOM

     

    the LAST CRUSADE

     

    FATE of ATLANTIS

     

    EMPEROR's tomb

     

    INFERNAL machine

     

    and the great circle lol

    I've dome some research btw, mathematically and geographically a great circle is the largest possible circle around a sphere, eg. the equator or any other circle around the Earth.

     

    It's also artificial terraformings in shapes of circles.

     

    Looking forward to that trailer anyway :)

    Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time!

     

    I was part of the community back then. Met many of you guys there for the first time.

     

    I remember the puzzles. I remember some of the games they pitched. I still have no idea how "iJet" would have worked.

     

    I remember "Project Joe" for which I still have the demo installer on my NAS somewhere.

     

    Is there some kind of archive of that era, e.g with a list of games, the puzzles...?

     

    I also remember email correspondence with Mr Kierdorf personally.

     

    A wild time.
