Story
AI-assisted summaryYou play Indiana Jones in 1937, after Raiders of the Lost Ark and before The Last Crusade, in a mostly first-person adventure. Back at Marshall College, a giant called Locus breaks in at night, steals a cat mummy, and knocks Jones unconscious. A mark on the thief's medallion matches a symbol from the Vatican's secret archive, so Jones slips into Vatican City for answers. The city is run by Benito Mussolini's Blackshirts, who are cooperating with Nazi scholar and occultist Emmerich Voss. There Jones meets reporter Gina Lombardi. She is hunting Voss over the disappearance of her sister, Laura, and the two join forces. Rival groups are hunting an old power linked to the Great Circle, sacred places around the world that align as one circle. Jones has to stay ahead of them.
Full story (spoilers)
In 1937 Jones comes back to Marshall College, having left fiancée Marion Ravenwood. Giant Locus steals a cat mummy and knocks him out. His medallion leads Jones into Vatican City, run by Mussolini's Blackshirts with Nazi occultist Emmerich Voss. Reporter Gina Lombardi joins him to find sister Laura. They learn giants of the Nephilim Order guard the Great Circle for the Catholic Church, and the mummy holds a stone. Voss steals the stones. Jones and Gina hide on his zeppelin. He fears that power. In Gizeh Voss takes the Idol of Ra stone and leaves Jones in the desert. Gina saves him. In the Himalayas a third stone has moved a Nazi battleship there. Laura is frozen dead. Colonel Viktor Gantz captures Jones. Gina's grenade frees him as the ship slides downhill. The stone opens a portal to Shanghai, and Gantz dies. They reach Sukhothai. Locus warns them not to reveal the secret. Jones ignores him, takes the stone, and Voss captures Gina. Locus helps because Jones values Gina over the stones, calling the Order to the Ziggurat of Ur. Jones frees Gina. They find Noah's Ark. Voss says God gave Noah this power to gather animals worldwide, and he wants it for the Nazis. He starts another flood, fights Jones, and dies from unstable Ark power. Locus sends the Ark through a portal, stopping the flood. Gina leaves for her career. A secret mural points every site to the South Pole, and footprints imply Locus lived.
