there were 16 levels.... might as well go the binary route. i'm a nails nerd too. it did look kinda mysterious. the game is supposed to be in the future where we have failed. you wake with amnesia and assume the name George Lewis of ULTRA from the vest you find. a backpack with maps and a logbook, and a random key made of bones. arizona is an island now from the nuclear war and the native americans populate a greater portion of america again. most of us had migrated to mars before it was blasted and wiped out. but yeah in the end we learn we mostly brought it all upon ourselves in the past and the main character isn't what you are led to believe. its an alien ghost story. we pretty much wiped out the sages by accident and they are all spirits holding the planet to breathe, revealing its core. throughout this game your mission comes as you think it up and as U.L.T.R.A. underground lokus/triax research alliance communicates to you. you don't want to let entire worlds down so you go along and try to remember as you go but you never do. in this game, each chapter, you are after a new boss or series of bosses that have been waiting for this time to take full advantage of earth's complete vulnerability, as loki (or whatever his name may be) has taken over their planet of triax and is quite possibly one of the most heinous entities alive. the whole planet of triax fears him, and throughout the entire game you are learning more of him as you become hot on his trail at the end. he is an entity of mystery. there is a reoccurring spirital portion of this game and reoccurring clues to the end. first off you begin by a pile of bones, upon learning later that spirits travel this way and there are piles all over your small portion of earth and at the end loki's cube uses target points to launch aliens through space via spiritual skeleports. big obvious clues in your way... the bosses of chapter 4 are skelly and tubby, the bipolar brothers. one is "good" one is "evil" but evil can be good too, while good can be evil. everything from their physical make-up to their plans for our world are complete opposites. chapter 5 has an entire army upon a mountaintop loki had slain to make room for his palace in the sky. the blood was so thick and dense and a different make-up that took longer to dry that the entire mountain rained blood and recipitates all the time. the fog is red on mt macabre and it storms death. you learn obviously all of these creatures go after you reguardless of knowing you are in your mind the salvation for them or not, or whether or not you attack first. at the end are loki's very cryptic puzzles used to guard his cube in the end. his cube is made up of bones. large bones used to teleport animals spiritually, but often times the mind can be damaged and creatures can be duds, especially if one were to be launched through multiple times. this is where you discover that in order to outrace time and help earth before the wrong news gets delivered, you have to go through the cube, ending where you started. that pile of bones in the beginning. then suddenly, you remember everything from before, and have an immense breakdown of guilt. you lived as a victim of yourself. the bad guy. this is just a small version of the plot. there are two endings too, save earth, or... gasp... sages... your kind. the most brilliant in our universe that we destroyed long ago. there are only a few remaining, loki being one. you. deliverer of some of the most heinous acts you have ever seen. and you learn that the spirits keep the planet alive revealing the core for a reason. it can take you back to before all of this happened. but at this time further on, earth is now extinct completely. there are no humans. you want everything as it was. awaken sage, and stop... yourself from blasting earth via hades, causing them to shoot for Hades but blast Sage. you were the soul cause of Earth's demise long ago. so in order to make everything right, you have to kill yourself (yourself in the past) this character, loki, is of course a beefed up arch-vile to cover the white skin portion. i've worked on music for a long time and did do that shitty "lokis realm" game before when I wanted to do something "ellaborate" but come on... 256 colors? what can you do lol. it's going to be a lot better though. the puzzles will be fun as hell and with acs scripting things will have reasons.
