THE PLOT
Jonathan Hunt is an American journalist working in Hungary as a local correspondent of a major newspaper. He arrives in Debrecen for a long weekend, not suspecting that his planned leisure trip will become an investigation for a missing boy and a most peculiar meteorite. It is for him to discover what the devilish “thunderbolt” hides: a huge diamond, an elixir of immortality or an unknown, destructive substance.
LEARN WITH PUZZLES
MIAZMA features a great story and dozens of puzzles to solve, most of them related to the science of physics.
The game, being an edutainment product, offers learning while playing. Controlling the main character, you rely on the virtual help of Atomki’s scientists and instruments, and put into action your basic knowledge in physics.
GAMEPLAY
The game takes you to real locations with live-action cinematic approach. It lets you explore some of the main attractions in Debrecen and the laboratories of Atomki, getting a glimpse of the work going on in a nuclear research institute.
THE PROJECT
The fully-localized English version of the game was supported by three international scientific organizations and projects:
