Nine unknown men

Many centuries have passed since the people of Atlantis left our world. It is unknown where they came from and what was the cause of their demise. It is known for certain, however, they have passed all their knowledge to their descendants and instructed them to guard it. In the year 3 BC, Ashoka the Great ascended the throne of the Maurya Empire. Several years later, he waged war against the kingdom of Kalinga. And so the Great Battle of Kuru took place. During this battle, the Weapon of Gods was used for the first time in history: new, powerful and very effective.

As soon as Ashoka witnessed the scale of destruction, the suffering caused and the countless casualties , he felt not the joy of victory but great horror and remorse. The emperor assembled his council of wise people. As a result they chose nine worthy men to keep and preserve the knowledge and secrets of Atlantis. So the mighty secret society The Nine Unknown Men/Nine Strangers was created. Every member of the Union of the Nine must guard one of the nine sacred books containing the scientific knowledge, discoveries and facts which are forbidden to humankind. They have been waiting patiently for the time when humanity will be ready for and worthy of this information. Whenever one of the nine died, another one took his place.

Two millenniums ago the Union of the Nine chosen the first-year university student as a candidate to replace one of Union's members. The protagonist (he or she) must pass a big set of quests and become the keeper of one of the nine secret Books which contain the knowledge forbidden for mankind. Events of the game take place in a cheerful atmosphere of student's life in several countries of Europe, Asia and America.

The smart interlacing of numerous quests, amusing examination questions and fine music will give a real pleasure to adventure game fans.
