Background story

The game plays in an alternate universe, in which at the turn of the 20th century radio signals were received from the Moon. Thereby the Great Powers of Earth discovered about the ancient but decadent civilization of the Moon.

A long time ago, when the Moon gradually lost its originally atmosphere, a great project was started by the Lunarians to build immense underground caverns, shielded from the vacuum of outer space. Into these caverns the ancient oceans on the Moon were redirected.

While the remnants of the Lunarian civilization still persevere in along the underground coasts of the ocean, most of their technology was lost. Much of this technology may still be recovered from the bottom of the sub-lunar sea. You have been sent from Earth to by a Great Power to discover lost technology, and in particular a mysterious artifact known as the Orb of Ptah. It has been rumored that recovery of this artifact would allow a control over the technology of the ancient Lunarians...
