Game Summary

The Prospector is 3D action-packed narrative platformer, telling a story about Pytheas, a young and talented prospector, who is on the hunt to retrieve an accursed relic. Journey with him as he uncovers the powers within beautiful crystals and escape, all while facing treacherous enemies and obstacles in his way.

Introduction

Pytheas leapt into the cavern depths, eager to find the lost relic of zaron. It was said that anyone who ventured into this cavern, looking for the relic, would never see the light of day. Pytheas, however, was determined to break this curse and prove to everyone that he was the best prospector in the world.

Pytheas, however, was determined to break this curse and prove to everyone that he was the best prospector in the world.

Progression

Soon, Pytheas realized he was trapped deep within the cavern and faced many dangerous beings who sought to end his very life. With his trusty mining gauntlet, he had to fight back and find a way out of this cavern.

In the world of The Prospector, huge crystal structures filled the caverns and provided a source of power for those capable of harnessing its potential. Pytheas, who was familiar with such crystals, could use his gauntlet to gain various abilities in order to help him find a way out, and escape alive. These precious discoveries fascinate Pytheas, as each new crystal he encounters had something new to offer, be it good or bad.

Crystals and Environment

Some crystals offered protection to the beings that roamed the caverns, such as the purple Olivine, which emitted an protective essence, forming crystalline shields to the cavern beings. Pytheas had to be wary of fighting enemies near such crystals, and perhaps look for a way to destroy them in order to make his fights way easier.

Some areas in the caverns seem to be filled with an ominous violet mist, which Pytheas could slowly feel eating away at him. Naming it blight, he knew he could not stay in such areas for too long, lest he could find a crystal that could nullify its negative effects.

Venture with Pytheas as he attains new combat skills from harnessing the powers of the large crystal formations and uses it to his advantage. As he learns about all the different types of crystals, Pytheas will have to use all his knowledge about each crystal to win the encounters within the caverns.

The Grand Escape

As Pytheas finally found himself face to face with the dazzling exit, he took his final steps towards his light of freedom.
