OVERGOD
Version 1.0
Copyright 2005 Linley Henzell
*******************************************
For too long has the world been ruled by cruel and disputatious gods! It's time
someone did something about it. You have constructed a vehicle in which to visit
the outer layers of the Celestial Oversphere and do battle with those who sit in
judgement on the Universe. Failure means oblivion, or worse. Success will strike
a blow at the shackles which bind humanity, and let you join or even supplant
those you have conquered!
Your vehicle is a marvel of transplanar engineering, capable of travelling to
worlds beyond our knowledge and making use of the strange energies which there
exist. Long years of research and intricate labour have allowed you to build
weapons capable of tearing through the substance of even the most exalted ones,
and you have made the appropriate pacts to enable your craft to reconstitute
itself a limited number of times should its substance fail you. Now it is ready
to leave this place behind and venture to where your existence is forbidden.
Your task will not be an easy one. On each layer of the Oversphere you must
fight your way through the lesser gods, greater gods, elder gods, younger gods,
demigods, demiurges, idols, sub-idols, undergods and overgods, and all of their
children, slaves, servants, soldiers, sentinels, guardians, messengers and
machines. Most of the enemies you meet must be destroyed for you to reach the
next layer. The larger enemies are worth several of their smaller kin, while
there are some whose destruction may be useful but is not required. A secret
ritual has shut the fearsome Eyes of the Watchful Ones, although only for a
time. You will have from two to three minutes in each layer before they open
again, so don't tarry!
You can tell which enemies you need to destroy by looking at your overview on
the bottom right of the screen. Essential targets are large yellow dots, while
unimportant ones are small and orange. The amount of time you have, and your
progress through the layer, are indicated on the top left of the screen, while
on the bottom left you can check how well your vehicle is holding up against the
fury of your enemies and how many lives you have.
