Through further discussion, Sentius also reveals that he's aware of the time travel, and that you're now stuck here with the rest of them, unless you create a time paradox. While citizens have been abiding by this rule so far, Sentius feels that your arrival signals impending doom - he asks you to find out who is about to commit a crime, and stop them if possible. According to this rule, if anyone commits a crime, be that theft, murder, or something else - the gods shall rain death upon the entire city and all will perish.
Sentius also tells you of the single law that rules this city - The Golden Rule. This gives the game an incredibly grounded and personal feel. This means that the game features around 20 characters, and they are all somehow involved with the story or sidequests there are no random NPCs walking about.
Those who tried have failed or disappeared. Turns out, there are only a handful of citizens, nobody remembers how they got here, and nobody is able to leave. When you finally meet Sentius, you learn about the city and their situation. On the way, you meet Horatius, a soldier that's loyal to Sentius, as well as Livia, a woman that appears to be crazed. You can automatically follow a character guiding you around - a feature that doesn't get used very often in the game, but is much appreciated none the less. You head further in, and are whisked away through a mysterious portal which transports you back in time, over two thousand years, to when this city was still standing and citizens walked the streets.Īs you step out of the temple which houses the portal, a man named Galerius greets you as a new arrival, and after a few key discoveries - such as you now being able to speak Latin - he says you need to see the Magistrate Sentius.
Golden statues are everywhere, and soon you encounter the gold-covered body of Al, who left a note that says he's been stuck here for eternity. When you stumble upon the entry to the caverns that host the ruins of the Roman city, you begin to realize that something is not quite right. Without much choice, and with just a flashlight, you head into the forest. If you do this, the woman promises to guide you and Al back to civilization on her boat. Al apparently went in to find some archeological treasures, and hasn't returned. You get to choose a name and a gender (though this selection is done via a coin with very unclear icons), and the woman asks you to head into the nearby Roman ruins to find her colleague Al. The adventure begins as players find themselves on a river bank, with a woman claiming to have saved you from certain drowning.
