About This Game

Bush pilot Down Under Dan was not planning on an adventure — his plane has crash-landed in an unfamiliar stretch of Australia and he has to make the best of it. Over four virtual days, Dan explores the continent's colorful corners, meeting a cast of local characters voiced in full speech, encountering the wildlife, and chasing a rumor about blue opals buried somewhere in the outback. Strike it rich out there and he might just come home a wealthy man.
