Handle Professor Lemeza to find out the Anthropo-origin!
"My name is Lemeza Kosugi.
Teaching archaeology at a university.
Actually, not a proffessor but an assistant. While lecturing at a university, as long as I’m on vacation, I fly around the world to seek undiscovered ancient ruins.
One day, back from a lecture, I found a somewhat dirty envelope on my desk.
“Eventually, I found it. I’ve won!”
The familiar hand writing on the offcut of the familiar datebook seems like ridiculing me. A poetry titled “Legend of Ancient Times” is written on the back of it.
A gold coin with never seen pattern is in the bottom of the envelope. But I do know well the writing on this.
I suppose my dad finally did it.
Unknown ancient ruins which had become the beginning of whole the civilizations. My dad’s lifelong-work seems became bearing.
This short triumph childish letter is always the sign to go.
He’s telling me to come.He intends to hold the treasure by using me again, that will be over.
My ambition for overreaching him is about to be gone before such a wonderful research object whom i can’t see, even if I lived for 500 years.
I packed my beloved laptop for exclusive use of Archaeology research for a start, usefull brother lash and gun, and also every kind of bad stuff and headed to the airport.
The destination is “La-Mulana“, the legend land said as The beginning of whole the civilizations and Anthropo-origin.
Though all the stuff without the laptop and the lash which I whined as souvenirs were confiscated at the airport…
I’ll be back with lots more stuff, then, that’s not much trouble."

This is a game I can fully say I respect. The game is about confusing as it gets, the player is tasked with unlocking the secrets of the ruins using glyphs scattered around the many sections, and it does not pull punches, with an un-quiet environment, brain-boggling puzzles, and and difficult gameplay. This game sits among the best as both a puzzle platformer and metroidvania. With this and cave story, I wonder how many hidden gems are tucked away within the japanese indie scene.
