Synopsis

Plot

The game introduces you to action with these words: "You are Ektor Mastiff, a scientist carrying the most important news in the world! Bring it to the Scientific Committee before it's too late!"
After surviving a tube crash, you find yourself trapped in a cave filled with lava. Then you discover the ruins of a secret underground base that can allow you to come back to civilization.

Notes

This game is a remake of Andromeda Awakening, the first of Innocenti's adventures, though the two games only partially overlap.

It is made in the style of a vintage 8-bit game, with graphics and music to match, as if it had been released in 1983 for the Apple II, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum, but in reality there are no versions for those computers. As a consequence this game is simpler and shorter than the original one, with fewer rooms and puzzles.
