An adventure Windows game – 3D platformer type with a lot of adventures

This is a Windows game with fantasy elements. Inspired by the 3D platformer games of the late ’90s. A casual game with lots of entertainment, various traps and obstacles.

The action takes place in the 2nd century BC when the real Strandzha mountain was inhabited by two Thracian tribes – Skyrmians and Asti. The main character of the game is Catos. He is a warrior from the Skyrmian tribe. His mission is to find and rescue his missing fiancee Teana. With the help of his Thracian sword “mahaira” (also called “sika”), he fights against the evil forces that stand in his way – forest beasts, forest spirits and evil wars. On his head, he wears the so-called “Phrygian hat”, characteristic of the Thracians. He collects gold coins that give him lives – for every 50 coins – he gets an extra life.

It can be said that almost all places are tourist landmarks these days, except for the following two sites. Their visit could be very dangerous!

• The Lion’s Head and the caves are located on the territory of the Ropotamo Reserve. The path approved for tourism only reaches the ruins of the Ranuli fortress. Visiting the Lion’s Head itself and the caves is prohibited!
• Seal Cave on Maslen Nos. Nowadays, the cave is accessible only from the sea and can be explored through some of the yacht excursions that depart from the port of Primorsko. According to local legend, the cave was once much larger, served as a pirate hideout and had an exit to land.

Images from the Bulgarian lands, which are related to the Thracians – their way of life and beliefs. And they have influenced the creation of the game.

The god Dionysus – supreme for the Thracians in Strandzha mountain

The god Dionysus was originally a Thracian god, which the Hellenes adopted from the Thracians, as a result of the cultural exchange between the two peoples, and placed him in their pantheon of gods. While among the Hellenes Dionysus is simply the god of joy, fertility and wine, among the Thracians Dionysus has much more important functions. He is the supreme god and the path to the immortality of the human soul in the afterlife. It is the basis of the Thracian religious teaching of Orphism, which was subsequently adopted in Ancient Greece and found in many followers.
