Description
About This Game
The Epic of Gilgamesh
The first written epic, carved into clay tablets thousands of years ago. It slept beneath the earth; emerging piece by piece from excavations — half cracked, half missing. Or perhaps the historians never wanted certain things written down.
What the tablets did not say, the bones still remember.
2096: Voice of the Bones
In the near future, a skeleton said to belong to Gilgamesh is unearthed. A new neural interface reads the memories embedded in bone and weaves back the days he once lived. You are the first to enter that simulation — and you will live not what the tablets recorded, but what the bones kept hidden.
Story
A prophecy, a princess locked in a tower, a dark night...
Born as the grandson of Uruk's King Emmerkar, the newborn is left to die. But an eagle catches the child mid-air and lays it beneath the date palms. The gardener and his wife who find the child give a name: Gilgamesh — "the one who sees and knows all."
In Eridu's small garden, raised as the gardener and his wife's own child, Gilgamesh grows in love. For years — a child of a warm home. Until one day truth knocks at the door, and he leaves behind the two faces he loves most, setting out on the road...
From Eridu to Uruk; city by city, temple by temple. Along the road, Gilgamesh learns — the world holds more truths than the tablets ever wrote.
Features
Sumer's Lost Story — Distilled from cuneiform tablets, Sumerology, and fragments of Akkadian verse; where the tablets fall silent, the bones speak
The Ancient Mesopotamian World — From the date orchards of Eridu to the ziggurats of Uruk; temples, markets, deserts and perilous roads
Simulation from Bone — Step into millennia past through the neural interface of 2096; walk between what the tablets wrote and what the bones whisper
Four Companions — Gilgamesh, the wild warrior Enkidu, the cunning merchant Ursanabi, and the wise healer Bau
Weapons & Potions — Forge bronze swords, adorn armor with lapis lazuli, distill potions from herbs; strengthen your party
Path of Wisdom — The sages of ancient Mesopotamia await you; from gardener to shaman, from merchant to priestess, every meeting leaves behind a word, an aphorism
A Living World — Beyond the main quest: a fisherman's lost net, a merchant's delayed caravan, a shaman's missing herb — every corner holds a quest
Bilgames → Gilgamesh
"The one who sees, the one who knows." This is the meaning of his name. This is the first step of his journey. And this — this is the moment the bones begin to speak again.
