Description

Voici ce qui devait être le premier épisode d'une série, par Sill Valt, talentueux dessinateur des bandes dessinées Barracuda et Les Chevaliers d’Héliopolis. Intitulée Omega Cerberus, cette démo vous narre la quête pour la survie des derniers humains, devenus nomades spaciaux en quête d'une terre d'accueil. Vous y suivrez Acté, en 3157, qui part explorer une planète d'où est émis un mystérieux message porteur d'espoir. Véritable chance de survie ou piège des redoutables Templiers ? Bien que très court, ce premier épisode (qui ne connaîtra pas de suite) sait nous marquer par son ambiance, la force de son scénario, et la finesse de ses graphismes.

This game takes place in the far future, after the fall of man and a mass exodus to the far-flung corners of the galaxy. The main character of this game is Actea, the "captain" of the colony vessel/sleeper ship Hopegate-III, the last and best hope for humanity's continued survival (presumably following the destruction of Hopegates I and and II, though this is conjecture). Actea's job as captain seems to consist mainly of shirking her responsibilities to leave the ship and go on adventures and/or sulk in her quarters while leaving the actual day to day running of the ship to her father, Maximillian, and the ship's mate, William-M. The first time she takes a jaunt off the ship, there are serious consequences, and she is seriously chewed out and relieved of her rank. She then proceeds to make the exact same mistake again, completely not have learned her lesson.

Actea has a mysterious past, and has sworn to avenge her lover Ashley who was slain by Nero, the leader of an evil theocracy known as the Templars.

Anyway, the Hopegate-III's quest for a new home suitable for humanity (and their constant flight from the Templars, who in some again unexplained way aren't human) and Actea's quest for revenge aren't without conflict, but together they lead the crew to the planet YY-87. There, Actea finds the mysterious and powerful android Auhsey who is, the evil Nero conveniently fills us in, the key tofinding...something...very important called Omega Cerberus.

Omega Cerberus is told in an episodic format, with the same basic plot structure per episode as your standard (serious) mecha anime.
