As its name suggests, “Laura Jones and the Gates of Good and Evil” is a game about this whole good and evil dilemma. But as a matter of fact, it doesn’t have much to do with the game itself. It’s just the story on which the game is based. The main character Laura – who you’ll be representing – is a recent graduate and assistant to the world renowned archeologist Dr. William Adams. In the introduction to the game, Dr. Adams calls her with some very important news about a recent discovery. This amazing discovery is related with the Gates of Good and Evil, and you’ll have to go on incredible and diverse adventures in order to find the keys to the gates.
After a way too long introduction, which you can skip at any time, you'll finally get to the players name screen, asking you for a name. When you’re done with that, you’ll see the Main Menu with the following options:
- Change player: the first time there’s no existing player. After you create one or more, they’ll be saved. When you enter into this submenu, you’ll be asked for a name as a new player. It’s possible to have a list of different players and record their performance. This way, you can play home tournaments with family and friends.
- Play: this option leads you right into the game. Some tips will come up as you play to help you get started.
- Settings: this is the menu from which you can set some game options like, sound effects volume, background sound volume, full screen, and music volume.
- Exit game and Credits: no further explanation required.
When you’re playing the game, you can always click on the Pause/Menu button to access to a pop-up menu with the settings menu’s options, and also with the option of going back to the main menu:
