The game takes you to deep jungles, where things work a little different than in more civilized places. You are on an archaelogical trip with a team of workers and a professor. Suddenly a helicopter lands and armed people take your team as hostages. The professor is taken from you by someone in a mask. You have no idea what's going on until very soon when you remember that the professor was talking about some mysterious thing called Northern Star. You get real quick that it all might have something to do with the present situation. The story unfold more and more with your every next step. The game gives generous portions of dialogues with excelent voices. The character of the game are very beautifully drawn. There's no question about that. Though some of them a bit ... strange. Like the girl you are playing as is a blod who looks just like anything but a smart archaeologist.
