Vimana Shankara (synopsis)

[Totemgames]

�It was an unknown weapon, an iron beam, a huge messenger of death that burned to ashes the whole race of the Vrishnish and the Andhakas.�

India, passages from Mahabharata. Three centuries before the birth of Christ.

Several texts found in India talk about the possible existence of a millenary technology provided with an incredible war power, emphasizing vimanas, supposed flying devices.

In a world likes today�s plenty of conflicts between different nations, what would happen if some remains of this ancient technology were found? This is the initial approach to Vimana Shankara.

The main character of the game, a young spanish student, finds by chance some clues that can send him to an actual vimana. But, as the interest in the device increases, he must choose who he trusts, with who he allies and what is the last objective of his search.

Along the adventure we will see the armies of USA and India, a sect of monk from Tibet and a pacifist organization. They all want to find the vimana. But what are their purposes? They all say that they look after the good of humankind, but consequences of their acts may have a tragic ending. In the hands of the main character is the possibility of suspecting and discovering who are really qualified to handle, keep or destroy the vimana.

Before the final election, he has to sort out some handicaps and solver several puzzles. It is not easy to find all the clues that lead to the vimana. From India the young guy will have to travel to the most exotic places: South America, Spain, Africa...

At last, harassed by numerous interests, the main character will have to take a vital decision, with his life and all the rest of humankind in his hands.

Are you using an existing engine or you were made your own? How's the interface is going to be (i.e. similar to what game?)? Are you planning a voice acting? Are there going to be any action sequences? Any cinematics?

[Totemgames]

the interface is similar to syberia, as far as the used motor, this being Wintermute. As far as the voices, if, we have a professional music which will be in charge of castings, and of all the process of creation of sounds. And, if, also we will have some scenes of action, videos.
