Sanctuary Woods

Description Third Person
"
The year: 1936. Exotic locales, diabolical traps, cliff-hanging situations and the onset of World War II. Yes, it's the further adventures of ... Robert L. Ripley!
Sanctuary Woods has transmogrified the real-life Robert Ripley of Believe It or Not! fame into the Indiana Jones of PC gaming. If you lived and breathed for Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers or Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, then this is the game for you. Lee Sheldon and Francois Robillard have written, designed and produced a richly detailed game that is going to keep net groups humming for months with requests for tips and puzzle solutions. The plot line is not original, and the thematic element--world domination--has been seen many times before, but this undertaking is a joy for the experienced adventurer. Why? An almost perfect blend of humor, puzzles and storytelling has been intricately woven together to create an unforgettable gaming experience. You, playing in the third person as Robert Ripley, must traverse the world in an attempt to find the "key" that will unlock the secret of Master Lu's tomb and obtain the world's most coveted treasure. Along the way, you must be on a constant lookout for bizarre exhibits to display in your Odditorium, keep your cartoon series updated by sketching interesting objects in your journal and stay one step ahead of the nefarious foes who are intent on taking your life and the "key" you have discovered that will open the door to eternal life. A blockbuster of a surprise ending awaits those whom solve the riddle and the knowledge that the world can again sleep in peace thanks to your vigilant efforts."-
