Overview

The Monolith, (a homage to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey) which was the object of the previous game, Nodes of Yesod teleported off into space just as Charlemagne 'Charlie' Fotheringham-Grunes was completing his quest. He has followed it to its home planet of Ariat and must now finally destroy it, before the Ariatians download the data it has collected and employ it to destroy the Earth.[2]

Gameplay

The game is very similar to Nodes of Yesod.[3] Charlie must penetrate the alien city where the Monolith is being held, via a network of caves and tunnels, and make his way to the Security Centre, where the Monolith can be disarmed and destroyed.

Reception

Crash magazine reviewed the game saying although it was very similar to previous title Nodes of Yesod "I strongly recommend Arc as you’d find it very playable and addictive", and giving it a rating of 89%.[4]

gollark: ```This egg feels like all future spacetime trajectories lead into it.```
gollark: GϘn.
gollark: Revised description:```Mana courses through this glassy egg, producing a beautiful glow - it's very reflective, almost metallic. It has a red gleam, too, and smells faintly like brine. It shimmers like gold, and it seems as if time is distorted around it. It is much smaller than the other eggs, and looks like lots of pieces of paper folded together and smelling faintly like cheese. It occupies every point in the spacetime continuum.```
gollark: Oh, forgot it.
gollark: Reminder: they'll all be omnidragons.
