Welcome to our webpage. In this page, you can download and try our free computer game: "Tale of Time"

Tale of Time is a computer game project that we developed during semester 1, academic year 2004/05, as the fulfillment for passing CS4213, a Game Development module at School of Computing, National University of Singapore. We formed a team of 4 Indonesian (to simplify the communication among us) called "Heaven and Earth Inc" (This name was inspired from one of Singapore's popular tea brand).

Synopsis:
You're playing as Mark, a treasure hunter in search of a legendary treasure. You're to explore a mysterious island, where the ultimate treasure is. This treasure is guided by a powerful guardian. With your simple gun, you can hardly do any damage to this guardian. You may want to first locate the ancient artifact that will bestow upon you the special ability to inflict damage on the guardian. This ancient artifact is located inside an ancient temple, which in turn is guided by weaker monsters, that you can handle with your simple gun. The artifact will help you to slay the guardian. You may try to steal the treasure without confronting the guardian, but it will be impossible since the treasure is protected by a barrier that will vanish only after the guardian is slain.
