## Description

While searching the house inherited from his grandfather, Gregory learns about
his family links with a magical armor from medieval times. The armor was
disassembled by an evil wizard, and the pieces scattered throughout the world.
Gregory and his friend Rachel must travel around the globe to recover all the
missing parts and restore the ancient family heirloom.

_The Mysterious Past of Gregory Phoenix_ is a hidden object game with
elements from the adventure genre. Most of the time, the objective is to find
and click on all the items listed on a semi-circular device at the bottom-
right of the screen, on locations around the planet. Some of the objects are
only revealed when using a special gadget, like infra-red goggles,
spectrometers, x-ray visors and other helpful tools. These gadgets and other
objects are stored in the inventory, accessible through a spanner button at
the bottom interface. The objects, like keys and other items, can be dragged
and dropped from their inventory slots to solve puzzles and perform actions,
like unlocking doors and chests. Clicking on certain portions of the scenery
brings up a window with another angle of the scene, showing a closer view of
the contents of holes and other containers.

After completing a scene, the player receives a rune key that can be used to
unlock new locations. Some places have puzzles where a mechanism has to be
manipulated directly to solve it, like tile-sliding puzzles and similar
challenges. In the armory, the objective is to collect all the pieces of a
armor portion, shown as a drawing at the bottom.
