expanded outward at an incredible rate. Cities began to
appear on Mars, and colonies were constructed on the
moons of planets as far out as Saturn and Neptune. While many of these settlements were built as research
stations for space exploration, most were needed to alleviate the burden of an ever-swelling population. On
Earth, construction moved in the only available direction - upward. The development of gravity-neutralizing
technology made it possible to build entire cities far above the Earth's surface. Caldoria, the first of the
skyborne cities, was officially dedicated in the year 2300.
Eight years later came the first formal contact with an alien race.
Earth was visited by aliens who called themselves the "Cyrollans."
The purpose of the visit was to invite humanity to join the
"Symbiotry of Peaceful Beings," an alliance of intelligent
beings whose objective is to benefit from the sharing of knowledge
and culture. The Cyrollans said that they would give us ten years to
deliberate their proposal, after which time they would send a
delegation of individuals to meet with our representatives in order to
extend a more formal invitation.
Now, on the eve of humanity's transcendence to the
heavens, has come an invention that jeopardizes all of our
hard-won advances. Time travel was originally hailed as
a gateway to our past, but the people soon realized that in
the wrong hands this technology could be more dangerous
than any weapon ever created. For this reason, the
government formed the elite guard known as the Temporal
Protectorate. As a member of the Temporal Protectorate, it
is your job to safeguard history from sabotage. You
monitor the space/time continuum from the Temporal
Security Annex, a top-secret installation where lies Pegasus, the only time machine known to be in
existence. But so long as the technology to create such a machine exists, the threat remains ...
Getting Started
As The Journeyman Project is a totally immersive experience, you will first have to know how to
interact with this world before being able to play. To learn about the game's interface, click on the
"Interface Overview" button on the main menu. When you are familiar with the interface, return to the
main menu and click the "New Game" button. After the background movie and the foreboding dream
sequence, you will awaken in your apartment. While your BioTech Interface runs its diagnostics, your clock
radio blares a news story about the return of the Cyrollans - this is the big day. Once your interface is
ready, control of the game will be in your hands
To move about your apartment, click the up or down movement button (or arrow keys on the keyboard) to
move forward or backward eight feet, respectively. A grunt indicates that you just walked into a wall, and
cannot move any further in that direction. The left and right arrow buttons turn you left and right.
To get to the Temporal Security Annex, you'll have to use the transporter on the first floor of the
apartment building. From the bed, turn north (watch the compass above the view window) and move
forward to the desk. Take the transport card that's on the desk by clicking and dragging it down into
your inventory, and then letting go. Next, go through the west door of the bedroom by moving as close as
you can get to it and clicking on it, then moving forward. The front door of the apartment is on the south
side of the living room. Leave the apartment, turn right, move forward, and turn left again. Click on the
elevator call button. When it opens, get in, turn around, and click on the button for the first floor. The
transporter is across from the information kiosk in the north-side view-bay of the first floor. Click on
the transporter, and when it's ready, step forward into it. Drag your transport card into the flashing
scanner and select the TSA.
From here, it's up to you. Good luck.
