Game synopsis

Treasured souls

Story mode

Due to advancement in technology in the 20th century, the Second World War lasted longer taking a different turn with history. During the year 1956 it was rumoured that the Germans found a sacred treasure in the deepest depths of the ocean. The treasure had many tales spun around it with some telling that it would grant immense powers, others exclaimed it would lead the holder to vault filled with riches beyond your wildest dreams. Many searched to find this one piece of treasure and many failed with the majority of men risking their own lives to find it.

The story takes place in the present day, we follow Samuel Watts as he ventures throughout the world searching for the rumoured ultimate treasure. Accompanied by his true friend Jack Watts they will have to fight through groups of enemies as they also search for the ultimate treasure. Join as Sam shoots, puzzle solves and climbs his way through jungle, artic, desert and even underwater landscapes in the search for the most ultimate treasure. With a twist of steampunk added into the game you will see landscapes and scenery never experienced before. Will you help Sam to travel this immersive world and find the ultimate treasure rumoured to be true or will you fail and create a grave with all the other deceased explorers?
Co-op mode

Pick up a second controller either online or offline and help each other as you complete different game modes. Grab some weapons and fight through vast amounts of enemies in our survival mode with the choice of three different difficulties for the play style of you and your character.
Or use your brains as you solve puzzles together getting through each temple, museum and architect sight being stealthy and smart as you put your heads together to knock out guards in the museums and evade traps set throughout each temple. Collect clues and treasures which will add towards a wallet to customise your own character creating a unique look for your co-op and multiplayer character. 

Multiplayer mode

If you don’t feel like searching for the ultimate treasure and want to fight those pesky treasure hunters, take to our online mode where we offer a range of game modes for you to fight through, including team death match (a simple 6 vs 6 mode of fighting), domination (hold the treasures for as long as you can), free for all (a mode where it’s you against the world) and many more. Introducing our very own unique tinker mode where you have to disrupt the enemy’s architectural equipment and defend your own as you both dig for pieces of keys to open the vault door.

Character profile

In his subjects he has studied in German, Spanish and Latin language, he is not fluent in any but can translate many words in each language. He also studied history and archaeology knowing many facts about historical events and artefacts, as for his other subjects he always failed and never aspired to live up to expectation but he excelled in both history and archaeology.

Before his father went missing he started training Sam in arm to arm combat from the age of 12 and taught him some aspects of gun combat when he became 14. Sam was always interested in history and archelogy which is why he mainly studied each of these subjects thoroughly and has learnt a lot about historical artefacts and treasures.


He is a witty adventurer and will make smart remarks even in the most dangerous of situations giving a comedic and light hearted look even when he is presented in the darkest of situations. Sam always saw his father as a role model and when stumbled upon his mysterious journal loggings and articles about his adventures he has tried to become a famous and great treasure hunter. One who will go down in the history books along with his father.
