Plot
editThe Monolith (a homage to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey) which was the object of the previous game, Nodes of Yesod, teleported off into space just as Charlemagne 'Charlie' Fotheringham-Grunes was completing his quest. He has followed it to its home planet of Ariat and must now finally destroy it, before the Ariatians download the data it has collected and employ it to destroy the Earth.[2]
Gameplay
editThe game is similar in style to previous game Nodes of Yesod.[3] Charlie must penetrate the alien city where the Monolith is being held, via a network of caves and tunnels, and make his way to the Security Centre, where the Monolith can be disarmed and destroyed.
Reception
editCrash magazine reviewed the game and despite noting its similarity to previous title Nodes of Yesod, they found it "very playable" and "addictive", and gave it a rating of 89%.[4]
