A really fantastic game!!!!!
ou play as Fred Reynolds, an American who meets a beautiful young Indian woman, Anusha, at Yale. Not long after the happy couple gets engaged, Anusha returns to India and then suddenly and inexplicably sends Fred a letter saying she's leaving him. Naturally, Fred jets after her, only to find her kidnapped. Evidence quickly points to the infamous Thugs, a cult of brutal murderers who venerate the Hindu goddess Kali, or "the black one," frequently portrayed in her destructive aspect with a necklace of skulls and a belt of severed arms. Centering the story on the Thugs, probably best known in the West from the film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, won't win points for originality, but you can't beat it for instant drama and intrigue.
To find Anusha, you'll hit the streets of New Delhi, but not before a detour into Fred's dreams, where you'll visit the glorious Taj Mahal. In fact, the game has you play through a number of dream sequences in addition to solving puzzles and dilemmas in the "real world." That's a fitting storytelling choice since events and locations in the dreaming and the waking worlds mirror each other, and the dream segments allow the exotic side of India to show through.
