It all started as a routine excavation in Palestine. But soon you find yourself racing across the desert on a mission to track down a legendary ancient relic before the Nazis can get their hands on it. And that's just the beginning. The Third Reich is mobilizing across the world in search of mysterious ancient Hallows of Power, objects that could put unimaginable supernatural forces into the hands of the armies of darkness. And the only thing standing in their way is you.
Put on the worn boots of a 1930s braggart archaeologist and prepare for a wild journey around the world, encountering adventure, romance and mystery at every step. Do you have what it takes to locate the relics, defeat your enemies and save the world from a thousand years of darkness?

Then it's down to business. You get to your feet—any dizziness from your blackout has passed—and load the breastplate into your backpack. You can feel the straps strain against the weight. Then, with Abdul taking the lead, you head out back down the east passage toward the exit.


The journey back along the twisting exit passage seems to go faster than the journey to the central chamber. You have a spring in your step, and everybody's spirits seem to rise. You've done it: you got here first, beat the Nazis to their prize. Now you just have to get back to civilization and decide what to do with it.


But then, just as you are approaching the final bend in the tunnel that will lead you out, Abdul stops suddenly and raises his hand.


"Extinguish your lamp," he says to you as he snuffs out his own lantern's flame. "I hear voices ahead."


You wait anxiously in pitch blackness as Abdul creeps forward to the bend and peers around it. When he whispers back what he sees, his voice is grim.


"Nazis," he says. "They have found us."
