About Total Eclipse

Total Eclipse is a three dimensional adventure game built on the Freescape engine. The setting involves a pyramid constructed to block sunlight, creating an impending eclipse that the player must address.

Gameplay focuses on exploration and puzzle solving within this multi level environment. The player navigates from a first person perspective, with adjustable movement controls for rotation and step size to maneuver around obstacles. Key actions include collecting ankhs to progress, using a gun to open certain paths or defend against enemies like mummies, and managing resources such as water.

This installment places a greater emphasis on adventure and survival elements compared to earlier titles using the same system. The core objective is to solve the pyramid's mystery, which involves a combination of environmental interaction and challenging logistical problem solving.
