Description

This romantic adventure is somewhat reminiscent of films such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Guide former WWI ace Jake Masters through 1930s Asia as he attempts to rescue the beautiful Kate Lomax, the kidnapped daughter of a ruthless American land baron. The game uses a point and click system for interaction and object manipulation. The storyline twists and turns throughout the game's 72-hour timespan, and many puzzles have multiple solutions. There are also optional short arcade sequences.
