Anachronox


I am Sly Boots, a private investigator whose office is on an artificial planet called Anachronox, somewhere in the middle of the universe. Currently, an angry client is beating me up... Right, I forgot again about that little debt of mine... No big deal. But my secretary Fatima reminds me I should better get a job. Okay, okay... I'll just walk around, talk to people, and find something. What's that? A mysterious rich man wants me to find some artifact for him? Great! That looks like a simple PI job. What can possibly go wrong? And so, the tale of Anachronox begins. Together with his friends, Sly Boots will discover a great mystery and prevent the destruction of the universe. Set in a futuristic world, the game is a console-style RPG for the PC, that also contains elements of a humorous adventure á la Space Quest. Controlling Sly and six other party members, you'll explore many planets, and fight enemies in Final Fantasy style battles - a mixture of real time and turn-based combat. There are also many mini-games and plenty of side quests scattered around.

The story takes place in a time when demons are terrorizing the world. Three warriors come together and form a Blood Trinity, vowing to fight demons until the world is safe again. One warrior, Elim, is a noble Korean swordsman. The second, Kusa, is a Japanese sorcerer. The third is a woman, Raening, a martial arts expert skilled in archery. Elim becomes engaged to Shining a beautiful girl who he has to rescue when she is captured by demons. He cannot live with her until the world is free of demons. Kusa carries a box on his back containing the bones and restless spirit of his father. He is sworn to avenge his death and find a way to let his father rest in peace. Raening has to prove that a woman and a princess can be as good a warrior as any man. The warriors travel from village to village helping those beleaguered by demons and fulfilling tasks to help the villagers. As a result of their labors they accumulate money, weapons, and powerful spells. They will need all their skill and experience as they learn the story of the Blood Sword and vow to find it and use it to kill Satan. Sometimes the people you meet and the relationships you forge with them are what will stand you in good stead in the future. Be careful who you are rude to or discard as uninteresting. Appearances can be deceptive and not everyone who offers to help you can be trusted. Again, it is up to you to judge. In the underworld you must come to understand the politics of who is fighting against who and decide which side to join. There are the ex-lieutenants of Satan struggling for independence from Satan while fighting each other, there are the half-breeds part demon part human, and there are the humans some of whom have thrown their lot in with the devils. It is your task to decide who has the knowledge you seek about the Blood Sword, its powers, and its whereabouts.
