Journey To Another
Time - and Space
Explore the universe envisioned in the classic writings of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne: where outer space is filled with "ether" that can be negotiated with modified sailing ships; and Mars, Venus and the Moon are inhabited by strange, sometimes hostile creatures.
Control five characters, endowed with special skills and abilities you've selected, as they pursue an elusive, advanced alien race. Visit the canals of Mars, the dangerous swamps of Venus and the mysterious underground caverns of the Moon. Even Earth - depicted with historical accuracy - is ripe for exploration and rife with intrigue, as you search for King Tut's tomb, visit the ruins of a Mayan city - perhaps even find the lost city of Atlantis!
Standing in your way are corrupt German conspirators, a radical Martian religious cult, and the awesome intelligence of an advanced alien race - that doesn't want to be found.
The limited technology of the Victorian Age and the infinite mysteries of outer space. Who says history is boring?
