OVERVIEW
MIAZMA or the Devil’s Stone MIAZMA is the second Jonathan Hunt adventure, sequel to award-winning FMV title Yoomurjak’s Ring. Like the previous episode, it is also a point-and-click FMV adventure, developed by the same crew. The game designer is Pierrot who is also the creator of the Agon adventure game series. Jonathan Hunt is an American journalist working in Hungary as local correspondent of a major US newspaper. Solving the case of Yoomurjak’s ring earned him the reputation of an expert of mysteries in the past. This time he is asked by a nuclear physics institute to throw light upon a disappearance, but the mission turns into a hunt for a peculiar meteorite that fell on earth centuries ago. What is inside the devilish stone? There must be a good reason why certain persons have been trying to get hold of it at all costs. MORE...
The previous episode: Yoomurjak’s Ring The story begins when Jonathan Hunt, a journalist from New York, arrives in the city of Eger in Hungary for a break. He has local ancestry and speaks the language, but this is not the only motive for his visit. In the heritage of his great-grandfather, the globetrotter professor Samuel Hunt (known from the Agon series), he found two letters dated back in 1898. The letters were from a somewhat lunatic Hungarian scientist about a time machine he claimed to be working on. The references point to Eger, and Jonathan wants to find out what happened to the man and his preposterous invention. MORE...
Science behind the game The story of Miazma is set in 2007, but Jonathan Hunt’s investigation reaches back to the past with an exciting combination of fictitious and realistic elements. All the characters playing in the present are fictitious, while most of the historic personalities are real, including István Hatvani, professor of the Reformed College of Debrecen in the 18th century, or Sándor Szalay, the founding director of Atomki. Also real is the meteorite of Kaba (shown in the game) that fell on earth in 1857, but the mysterious “devil’s stone” is fictitious. MORE...
