Anteform

Anteform

Released2019
Steve Johanson has disappeared and his girlfriend Sally Franklin has hired your detective agency to locate him. Even before you get on the scene there are signs that maybe this isn't just a simple missing persons case. Can you crack it? Explore Anteform Valley and its settlements, talk to its residents, search desks and files, and build up your skills as you collect clues to figure out what really happened to Steve and maybe even prevent it from happening again. Anteform is a horror / sci-fi detective story RPG in the style of the older Ultima games (Ultima I, Ultima II, Ultima III, Ultima IV, & Ultima V) as played on the Commodore 64 and 128 computers (although thematically it fits in better with the Worlds of Ultima games). Just like the original Ultima games, it includes a world view, enterable towns, and 3D dungeon displays. More importantly, it is a fully playable (and winnable) game with its own backstory, plot, setting, and characters.

About This Game

A private investigator arrives in Anteform Valley with limited background. The client: Sally Franklin, whose long-term boyfriend Steve Johanson disappeared while supposedly running a quick errand. Steve moved to the valley four years ago to work at radio station KLLR and met Sally shortly after. She insists he was not planning to leave and was not suicidal. By the time the investigator arrives, a second person — a young woman named Mary Wainwright — has also gone missing, last seen hiking and never returning. Whether the two disappearances are connected, and what is causing them, is what needs to be uncovered. A mystery adventure game.
