The desert is home to a handful of villages whose ancestry reaches back centuries. All of them surround a mythologically celebrated ancient stronghold that stands drilling water from a deep-seated aquifer to support the nearby settlements.

There is a presence there, perpetuated only by black magic.

Rand Bousaid, a monk from one of the few cloisters atop the plateau, is roused by recurring dreams of a hellish scourge laying waste to everything, always shown with a looming acropolis in the background. One night he packs his belongings, leaves a letter of notice to the Abbot, and sets out to find the place he so vividly recalls.

Looks stunning, cannot WAIT.

i played half of this and it was better than like 90% of the content that gets posted to this website tbh

Judging by the teaser and the screenshots, it does look very high-quality. And the description sounds mysterious enough to peak my interest.

Following on ModDB.

this looks quite nice, keep on truckin'!

So it doesn't have anything to do with Baudrillard?

No but reading up on those ideas it does seem pretty interesting :O

Ooh, looks nifty!!

Awesome mod ! Did you make the music yourself ?
Ps. How do you do those smooth camera moves (from the teaser) ? I don't remember such options in HPL.
