You are Prisoner 849, trapped aboard the prison transport vessel Vortex Rikers. When the ship crashes onto the uncharted, alien planet of Na Pali, you escape your cell to find a beautiful world enslaved by a brutal, multi armed reptilian conqueror race known as the Skaarj. Navigating crystalline caves, ancient floating temples, and advanced sci fi facilities, you must aid the peaceful, native Nali tribes to completely dismantle the Skaarj occupation and find a way off the planet.

Behind The Scenes
Tim Sweeney spent over three years coding the foundational architecture of the Unreal Engine inside his garage. He introduced a built in software development editor (UnrealEd) that ran concurrently with the render window, allowing modders to reshape map architecture instantly. The engine's custom color light tracking and native modular music system which shifted tracks seamlessly from ambient to combat states completely redefined PC graphics capability.
