Exploration in Cleopatra: A Queen's Destiny (Riddle of the Tomb)? - 12/21/17 11:42 PM
I've read some reviews about Cleopatra: A Queen's Destiny (Riddle of the Tomb), including Looney4Labs' one on this site of course, and I've gathered it's very brief, extremely linear and plot-driven (apart from the fact that apparently your choice of various astrological signs as your avatar will influence the plot).
As I've become a huge fan of the movie Agora (2009) - not surprising since the lasting impression Carl Sagan's excellent classic TV series Cosmos made on me some decades before, I'm thinking of buying the game even if just for the locations of the Library of Alexandria and the Pharos lighthouse. Yes, I know that the game is set more than 4 centuries before the movie, but it's still the same location with the familiar landmarks.
So, I was wondering, is there any opportunity to explore these locations freely in a kind of 'visit mode', or ability to revisit them after playing the game? I don't think there are any time constraints that push you to solve riddles or mysteries, but are you forced in just one direction around these places to get the job done? Is the library always shown infested with crododiles?
I don't think there's any background information either, like an encyclopedia?
This is also because I consider doing a screen recording of some Alexandria locations afterwards for educational purposes.
Very Merry Christmas Wishes to you all!
