More On: The Secret Files: Tunguska
It looks like we'll be getting another traditional adventure game from The Adventure Company.  The Secret Files: Tunguska centers around the mystery of the Tunguska Incident, the 1908 explosion in Siberia that has defined explanation.  The listed features sound deep enough to keep a hardcore adventurer busy, and the graphics look to be shaping up nicely.
 The Adventure Company, the worldwide leading publisher of PC adventure games, today announced that it will be releasing The Secret Files: Tunguska, a unique cinematic adventure game based on the true events of the Tunguska phenomenon that fascinated the world. The game will begin shipping in North America in October 2006. 

 

Storyline:

 

Nina is torn from her day-to-day routine when she discovers that her father has disappeared without a trace. Since the police seem reluctant to help her, Nina sets off to look for clues relating to her father's whereabouts. She joins efforts with Max Gruber, a young colleague of her father who impulsively offers to help the attractive young lady.

 

Together, they quickly determine that Nina's father was involved with a research expedition to Siberia in an attempt to reveal the cause of the mysterious Tunguska catastrophe of 1908. A mighty explosion triggered an inferno that decimated the land of Tunguska. Until now, the Tunguska phenomenon has been left unexplained. Nina and Max soon realize that her father's disappearance is related to the Tunguska event and the search for answers leads them to the most remote corners of the world – Berlin, Moscow, Cuba, China, and the Antarctic. Powerful adversaries are also interested in Nina's father's secret. In the end, much more is at stake than just the disappearance of an old man.
