The year is 2318. The place: the sky-born city of Caldoria. After a century
of bitter struggle, humanity has finally learned to live in peace. In 2117 the
Unified World was established. And humanity knew no more war. But all that was
achieved was threatened with the invention of time travel. Its potential to destroy
humanity's hard won prosperity realized, the only time travel machine ever built,
the Pegasus, was moved to a secret location. The Temporal Security Annex (TSA) was
formed to protect history from sabotage. The project's code name: Journeyman.
Exactly ten years ago, an alien delegation calling themselves the Cyrrollans
approached earth as messengers from the Symbiotry of Peaceful Beings. They gave
humanity ten years to decide if they want to join the Symbiotry or not. Now the
moment has come, and humanity awaits the arrival of the alien delegation. You are
Agent 5 of the Temporal Protectorate. When you report to the TSA, you find that
someone is changing history, influencing events and happenings, changing how things
happened - and not for the better. It is your job to find out who is messing with
history, stop him, and restore history. For this you will have to travel time,
using the Pegasus, as far as 2 million BC. You will travel to Mars in 2185 to stop
attack on an alien vessel, visit the World Science Center in 2310 to stop an
assassination, and go back to 2112 to destroy a nuclear missile. You will collect
items, solve puzzles, and pit your wits against a giant robot. The game itself is
an adventure game, played in 1st person perspective - explore the environment,
collect and use items, solve puzzles and small games, and it even has a maze in it.
It has a few twists though: according to TSA's rules, you are not allowed to
interact with people from a different time, so you must gather information in a
different way. You can also stay only a limited time in every time zone, since your
protective suit has only limited energy. You can also die at this game, if you are
not fast thinking and fast moving. The game was originally made for the Macintosh
and the PC port 3 suffered some problems, leading to a later improved release in 1994,
re-titled The Journeyman Project: Turbo! |
