Genre: Puzzle Adventure
SENTINEL Descendants in Time is a gripping science fiction adventure set more than 1900 years from the present day in a rich pastoral region of our own future Earth. In this quest for riches and knowledge, you can uncover the mystery behind the Tastan Caverns. As you begin your dangerous journey, you'll encounter a female sentinel programmed to guard the sacred caverns. Her dark purpose, however, may impede your progress through more than 20 puzzles. A built-in hint system may come in especially handy as the puzzles become more challenging. Each of the game's eight worlds features diverse environments, ranging from snowcapped mountains to active volcanoes.
It's the story of a young man named Beni who finds himself in the terrifying situation of being forced to enter the most dangerous tomb in a nearby tomb-field left behind by the long-gone Tastan civilization. SENTINEL begins with Beni outside this tomb desperately trying to persuade Doba to change his mind. He reminds the overbearing and stubborn crime lord that the Tastan tombs have little by way of treasure in the conventional sense and few easily removable artifacts. The amazing technology of the ancient Tastans is simply beyond the best minds of Beni's day, completely inaccessible to modern scientists and souvenir hunters. He also reminds the insensitive Doba that even the great Ramirez was barely able to make it out of Tomb 35 with his life.

Quern is a first person puzzle adventure with captivating story and beautiful graphics. Quern refreshes the genre with flexible gameplay and reuseable puzzle mechanics. The visuals and the music combine traditional and modern elements providing a unique mood for the game. One of the specialities of Quern is that the tasks to be solved are not managed as separate, individual and sequential units, but as a complex entity, amongst which the players may wander and experiment freely. Often a bad or seemingly irrational result may bring the player closer to the final solution, if those are reconsidered and thought over again later, in the possession of the knowledge gained during the game.
