You must traverse the globe to find it. Gameplay would've involved walking-around, solving puzzles, dis-arming booby traps, and possibly, fighting enemies. The scope of this project was not unrealistic, but IRL events, especially, cost me a whole ton of time. Ultimately, the final version is more complete, code-wise, than my LD35 submission. However, due to all the time I lost to IRL, some parts of the game didn't get finished in time. By the time I got to adding an actual level, there was minutes on the clock. The 'final' build of this game doesn't even show all the features i was able to add, nor does it accurately represent the capabilities of the game engine i've put-together for this game as a whole.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>With as much as I couldn't get done by deadline, the only way really to judge is based on the code, and messing-around to see what can be made from it. I plan to extend\/complete the game and submit it to kongregate, after another project of mine is somewhat more complete, and on github."},{"author_name":"Aaranos","author_uid":"51253","time":"Sep 1, 2016 @ 5:55pm","epoch":1472752200,"text":"In your game description please explain how to play the game.

Due to the MANY IRl interruptions, and the fixing of certain bugs, even despite extending this to the Jam, I had very little time to really finalize anything.
