I always wondered why were there no Ancient Greece themed AGs (None I know of, at least. There were two or three Roman though, but all sucked.), as this was always one of my favorite ages in history. So I am really willing to drool in anticipation, but first I must see or hear something more specific.

Do you think it is first person or third person perspective? None of the images suggest the latter I guess...

Then if you like text adventures, get Myth (Magnetic Scrolls), there are a few nice puzzles I remember of In Explora 2 too there were some parts in Ancient Greece! Then there was this french text adventure (my first one ) on CPC that I can't find again on the web where you played Ulysse!

I saw the trailer for this at E3, and I think all those screenshots are taken from it (not in-game stuff).
My understanding is that the game is based in the present, but the player is trying to recover an artifact (some kind of scroll, I think) that was stolen in the past (in ancient Greece). The trailer took place in the past and showed it being stolen. The trailer was pretty good. |

Well, at least another developer's pushing the genre into the limelight! The article on IGN's quite big. Lets not pick apart the concept before we know what it is, folks. We didn't do it to Juniper Crescent, lets not do it to this.

Hi everyone...
First of all Theseis is based in the present (in fact it will take place in an alternative city of Athens).The connection with Ancient Greece is very strong and as fov said the player (Andronikos Kalogerou) must locate & recover an artifact (Theseis). There's a big conspirancy element that make this recovering a pain in the ass for the player but...well thats adventure.The trailer we show at E3 was a prequel to get everyone in the mood, show the beginning of the story and hopefully create some drooling. Right now we're working our butts off to fullfil both our dream & hopefully rekindling the adventure genre flame... CU Soon |

Welcome to the forum, drskam! It's great to hear what you guys are working on.
Any chance you will be releasing the trailer online? It certainly got me drooling (I stood there and watched it half a dozen times!) and I'm sure others in the community would love to see it, too. -emily |

Direct link to video: http://www.theseisgame.com/downloads/cinematic2.mov
That looks really impressive, ofcourse it's all pre-rendered but still, if the final product is anything like that it's on my wish list The Charon bit was nice and grim, but I'm a bit confused; is the game set in modern day Athens (or an "Alternative Reality" Athens)? Because the video clearly showed ancient Athens And do you have any further information about the game, such as if it's going to be realtime 3D or utilizing pre-rendered backdrops against 3D characters, first person or third person, point'n'click etc.? |

I believe it's set in modern day Athens, but the story has to do with something that happened in ancient Greece (which is shown in that video).

Theseis
The game is in real-time 3D using a custom powerfull 3D engine. The promo video is pre-rendered but I'm not saying anything about in-game quality. Wait 'till the release of the special ingame video. I'm working on it these days.
The story of the game is very good with many roads and choices for every puzzle you'll encounter. You can either choose man (Andronikos) or woman (Phoebe) to play the game with different dialogue (and more than this) experiences. It's set in an alternative modern Athens but the ancient element is very strong and important to the sollutions. Add the fantastic element too and you've got a real addictive sum. More news and answers very soon. |

Maybe someome mentioned this before, I not in the mood to reread all the posts, but I wondered, is it an action adventure, meaning, do you have to fight?
This means a big deal to me, I not so fond of adventuregames demanding that. (I actually don't like timed sequences either, but that I can handle) And it will have a big impact on wheter or not I'm going to get the game.. Will it be distributed to the whole of europe? |
