The action takes place in the 2nd century BC when the 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.
