About the Game

Based on the novel Atlantis Protocol by Haja Mo

The Story

Miles Shaw is a brilliant British Museum archaeologist from Haja Mo's sci-fi techno-thriller novel "Atlantis Protocol." He's devoted his life to unearthing ancient relics and long-lost civilizations. In this adventure, Miles is searching for the Jade Tablet in the Amazon jungleโ€”an artifact whose engraved symbols point the way to Metromite, a fabled Atlantean power source of nearly limitless potential.

But he's not alone. Three villains working for the sinister Scarlett Spire organization are racing to claim the tablet first: Victor Sly (cunning mastermind), Mara Fang (deadly mercenary), and Silas Doom (dark scholar). Can you recover the Jade Tablet before they do?
