In a small town in the south of Ireland, five children disappeared one month ago. Rescuers and collaborators have done the impossible to find them, but it has been in vain.
A group of three Panamanian explorers, Jose, María and Juan, have gone deep into the forest looking for a place to study the biology of the ecosystem. María, the most observer, realizes that there´s a huge mark of a pentagram on a huge stone. Then, she takes a picture of it with her camera and begins questioning herself about that weird symbol.
When they arrive at a small village, the three explorers notice that their inhabitants act very suspicious and very silent. At a bar, Juan asks the owner about the strange behaviour of the people. Joseph, the owner, tells him that three months ago, five children disappeared without leaving tracks. And also, the people suspect that the children´s disappearance has something to do with the legend of the hermit women. It is thought that those women are witches.
Later on, María shows Joseph the picture taken of that weird mark from the big stone.
John, the owner of the bar, provides one of the explorers, the bravest, the necessary tools and weapons to search the children.
The objective of the game is to go through the forest following the clues (the weird marks) that will appear in any place or thing that could lead to the children.
During the journey, the character has to kill all the witches while rescuing the children so that the population remain calm. Finally, destroy and burn all the witches' belongings where they perform the pagan ritual.
Gameplay
Before beginning the journey, there will be a short video about the beginning of the trama. You decide to skip or watch it.
The six children are lost in different places around the forest. For instance, in places like a cave, an isolated cabin, a tunnel and maybe tied in trees. Furthermore, the player has to prevent the character from being seen by any witch, or if not you´ll lose the game automatically because the other ones will also come after you. And also, she has to kill the other ones reunited in circle worshiping a strange statue near a sacred tree.
The player has to be aware of the weird symbols that will appear anywhere like on the ground, trees or rocks, that can guide the character towards each child.
The hardest part of the game is finding the youngest girl of 5 years old, where she´s tied in a sacred tree behind the witch ceremony. If María is seen by witches, she will have to run until they lose her track. It is advisable to leave the children in a safe place or at a specific spot while rescuing the other ones to complete the last mission. The children won´t be a nuisance since they will follow the main character without making any noise).
If you want to kill a witch, you can deviate to the other one by throwing stones in another direction or by whistling to attract the other one and bring her far.
The only weapons that are provided is a crossbow with endless bows, a rope and a knife and the other items such as water bottles, some medicines and a first aid box. If you see a wounded, very weak or sick child, give him/her a water bottle, medicines or the first aid kit. When should you use them? The water drop symbol will appear over each child. Also, if someone is injured, a question mark will appear, and if someone is sick, the first aid symbol will appear on top of them.
The player will only have 5 lives after rescuing each child, and throughout the game, the character could find other things on the floor such as ropes, and weird books. There is also a rounded map with red moving dots that indicate the enemy´s distance. And also, if you want, you can deactivate the map and the compass to have a more satisfying game but with risks.
