Regreso al Edén

(Return to Eden)

The war between both human empires has finished after the retirement of Napua and the cession of the Trisolia System to the Vaitzu of Masanai. But somebody is not pleased with such peace: there's one species compressed in its native planet feeling the need to expand; and humans having stopped massacring themselves doesn't help things.

Trisolia hides very valuable secrets: an old civilization with a superior technology, that could make the difference in the battle for the power of the galaxy. The Vaitzu has begun the colonization and the closing of the gained system, but not all interested parties have yet surrendered.

El Museo de las Consciencias

(The Museum of the Consciences)

Your father forsake you before you could be able to remember it. He dropped you in a house on a small hill, under the care of two sinister women, always dressed in black. He left you to the dark corners, to the long shadows of the old house, to the silence and to the tedium. Maybe your father is dead somewhere out there. You hope and desire that it is so.

This game is part of a project for developing an exhibition of interactive art, stories and games based upon in the H.P. Lovecraft's Commonplace Book, on the 70 anniversary of his death. Extensions to the project may include transcripts, screenshots and kiosks with computers to be shown at the exhibition, conferences and festivals between 2007-2008; and a limited edition of a CD-ROM with all works received.
