 ...a
dank and dark cave that oozed evil, a terrible open sore in the
land that spewed forth nightmares...
The
Gosling valley was once a valley of peace and prosperity. In
Gosling it seemed the sun always shined, your neighbors smiled,
and the harvests were bountiful. Yes, life in the valley was
good. Factor in the mushrooms, and well, life wasn't just good,
it was great!
Ah yes, the mushrooms.
The valley was full of them, and each one was special. There
were enormous mushrooms that were used as homes, and small ones
that could be brewed into liquor (including everyone's tavern
favorite, ShroOOom! ale). Some mushrooms were best buttered and
fried, while other mushrooms were typically dried and smoked.
There were mushrooms that healed the sick, and even some that
could make magic!
Then the troubles began.
Bizarre creatures prowled the valley, the wildlife fled, and
once full larders laid bare. The citizens of Gosling smiled at
each other no more, instead spending their days hiding in
terror. Worse, with the blight upon the land the mushrooms that
once provided so much now provided so little. Even the casks of
ShroOOom! ale were almost dry!
Big Will, an old farmer,
sought out the source of the evil. Nestled high in the hills, he
found the source: a dank and dark cave that oozed evil, a
terrible open sore in the land that spewed forth nightmares. Big
Will did not go in, though. He'd let someone else have all the
glory. Someone, such as YOU!
You are Rapius, mighty
farm laborer. The blood of the Gods do not flow in your veins.
You were not prophesized about a thousand years prior by three
blind crones. Yet it is you, Rapius, that will seek out and
destroy the source of evil.
RAGe:
Part Game, Part Toolkit!
Rapius, grab your lantern
and make haste! For the good of the people, the lands, and the
mushrooms - especially the mushrooms! Have you seen what they're
charging for a pint of ShroOOm! ale lately? Go forth, descend
into the earth! Leave a tramp and come back a scallywag! All of
Gosling awaits your triumph - your triumph in the lair of the
Medusa!
Scallywag: In the Lair of
the Medusa is a single-player, action orientated dungeonbash of
unlimited potential. Taking the role of Rapius players fight
their way through eighty levels of randomly generated dungeon
exploration, braving dozens of unique subterranean dangers in a
quest to cleanse the ultimate evil within the catacombs.
Down in the dark players
will gain gear, craft items, learn magic, eat 'shrooms, turn to
stone, become invisible, get drunk, be hungover, learn to fly,
speed up, muscle up, regenerate, smoke fungus, get diseased, get
lost, get found, and more! Careful use of Rapius' lantern will
allow players to strike from afar, or for tough encounters,
sneak by silently in the dark.
Scallywag: In the Lair of
the Medusa also comes complete with RAGe, the Random Adventure
Game engine. Craft whole new adventures for Rapius, or even make
entirely new games! Everything (and we mean everything) can be
modded with RAGe, no programming experience necessary!
Do you have what it takes
to survive eighty levels of terrible beasts, cruel hazards, and
some mind blowing mushrooms? Find out in Scallywag: In the Lair
of the Medusa!
