GMX Media have announced that they will be publishing a new PC CD-ROM
adventure title Legacy: Dark Shadows. The game is a point & click adventure with a dark
science-fiction storyline spanning a period of 200 years.
The world of Legacy is a
dark and cold one, and almost as frightening as the possibility that one day it might be our
reality. It is a world where people are mere pawns in the never-ending chess-matches of the
powerful few, a world where freedom and human rights are just words, relics from a time long
gone.
The story so far...
In the year 1930 Japanese scientists discovered an
unusual substance which when injected in human body starts to regenerate body cells stopping
the process of aging. However, with the first few volunteers it became clear that something
has gone wrong: after ten days the rejuvenation was so intense that a body couldn't take
that much of a shock. All of the subjects died of a stroke. In 1936 Japan and Germany sign
the Anti-Comitern Pact. Hitler's leading scientist Josef Mengele negotiated the terms of
the cooperation with Japanese concerning the research of the regenerative
substance.
These negotiations lasted until 1941, when Germans realized that their
soldiers aren't able to bare the cold Russian climate. Japanese, concerned for their
interests in Russia, decided to help them unconditionally. In December, 1941 the Institute
for Hereditary Biology with its leading scientist dr. Mengele received a mysterious package
from Japan. Only the chosen ones knew that it contained all records regarding the creation
of the regenerative substance...
This was only the beginning The effects of their
actions would echo through two centuries!
