The Judgment of Quintus
Rome (52 AD)—Fasten your
togas! greGAMES!
announces The Judgment of Quintus, a madcap romp
through Ancient Rome. From the makers of
Jessica Plunkenstein and the Dusseldorf
Conspiracy, which the New York Times hailed
as the Best Adventure Game of 2005, The Judgment
of Quintus unites classical lore and legend
into an uproarious adventure of epic
proportions.
Disaster approaches the
Roman Empire. The primitive Britannic
tribes—which, incidentally, are much like their modern
counterparts, but with better teeth—are about to
launch a revolt of unimaginable proportions.
Realizing they possess neither the martial nor
culinary prowess to conquer Rome, the Britons
have concocted a dastardly plan: to build an
army of Anglo Squirrels. When released on Rome,
the
nefarious rodentia will consume the city's grain reserves,
causing famine—or, should Romans switch to meat
products, high blood pressure—across the nation.
Rome herself is no stranger to Botanical
Warfare, having weathered the Great Squirrel
Crises of 27, 29, and 34 - 40 AD. To solve such
problems in the past, the Romans prayed to Vesta,
Goddess of the Hearth and Squirrel Smitery.
Unfortunately, an unknown force has weakened the
gods as of late, and Olympus is being swallowed
by the Something. With the heavens in shambles,
more and more Romans are converting to
Calpurnipalianism—a mysterious religion which, founded
by and devoted to the empress Calpurnia, has
recently attracted a slew of celebrity
adherents, including the famed gladiator Necantio.
After a fateful prophecy,
Quintus, assistant publicist to Necantio, finds
himself on a journey to save Rome from the brink
of ruin. Can he uncover the Calpurnipalian
Church's deadly secret, restore power to
Olympus, and save Rome from the forces—squirrel
and otherwise—that imperil the empire? He'd certainly better, for Rome depends on
The Judgment of Quintus.
Mystery! Suspense! Anglo
Squirrels! What else could you ask for? Well,
The Judgment of Quintus also offers:
- An epic journey that
takes you around and about the Roman Empire with
day trips to Olympus, the Underworld, and lands
as exotic as their pronunciation.
- Countless dangers
including evil sorceresses, would-be alchemists,
plush animals, celebrity judges, overprotective
parents, underzealous children, expectorant
actors, resilient stagehands, tour groups,
vestal vegans, Major-Generals, General-Majors,
and, the most feared of all beasts, the Gladiopossum.
- Thrilling characters
who defy all description, except that found
here.
- Pure professionalism.
From sharp, zany writing to inspired artwork, as
well as professional voice acting and a dynamic
score recorded by live musicians, The
Judgment of Quintus holds itself to the
highest production values and promises nothing
short of an amazing theatrical experience.
The Judgment of Quintus is
scheduled for release in 2007! To keep
