Nico, Stobbard’s prissy French girlfriend, has been kidnapped, and it’s up to you to help him escape from a burning house and track down the girl’s abductors. But more importantly, you must figure out exactly what’s going on.
Indeed, this story is about more than just girlfriends and poisonous spiders! You’ll run into CIA agents, cocaine lords, power-hungry dictators, mysterious scientists, Mayan artefacts, fallen priests, powerful shamans and other oddball characters who are all extremely good at muddling the plot.
Like all good mysteries, once you think you’ve got a good handle on exactly what’s going on, the game yanks your theories out from under you and tosses you back to square one. [Source: Amazon]
