About the Game
This project bases on the life of Liu Na-ou, a film producer and novelist during Japanese colonial period of Taiwan. The inspiration for the game is the Mahjong of Liu Na-ou, one of NMTL’s collections. The game stretches from Shanghai Paramount, Tianjin Wanguo Bridge, Da Hinggan Range, Heilong Jiang, Dingling (Ming), Beijing, and finally to Tainan Hall, Taiwan. With the fictional setup, the players would begin a puzzle quiz-based game.
Game Introduction
Reports show that collections around the world, both the public museums and the private ones, have been missing since 2079. In 2080, a powerful cultural relic in NMTL is stolen. It is Mahjong of Liu Na-ou, which owns the power to change history. INTERPOL suspects the cases are orchestrated by global terror network RISS.
RISS declares they can time travel. There is reliable proof showing RISS attempts to change the history of WWII by the secret agent using Mahjong’s power. The player would play an international secret agent with the codename ‘predator 1940’, then spying into the network of RISS. By travelling back to 1940, the player is to stop RISS’s evil plan and bring back the Mahjong.
