Journey to Pompeii is a fairly interesting game but not one of the best. The premise is that you, an archaeologist, have managed to offend the Goddess, Ishtar, so she has kidnapped both you and your fiancee and transported you back to the city of Pompeii, three days before the famous eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
Pompei: The Legend of Vesuvius, also known as TimeScape: Journey to Pompeii, is a 2000 historical adventure game. The game was developed by Arxel Tribe and Réunion des Musées Nationaux, and published by Cryo Interactive. It followed by a sequel, Jerusalem: The Three Roads to the Holy Land.
Plot[edit]
When an explorer and world famous cartographer by the name of Adrien Blake returns from an expedition he discovers that his fiancée, Sophia has disappeared. Wrought with grief Adrian immerses himself in his manuscripts and reveals an ancient curse placed on him by the goddess Ishtar. Blake must go to 79 AD Pompeii, where a volcano will erupt in four days time, destroying the city, and find Sophia.
Development[edit]
Pompei used the CINview engine, which also appeared in Faust.[1]
