Why does he need a prophecy and an oracle? Ok, he helps the inhabitants of the city and so he receives some clues as to what to do next. Which first requires gathering the animals of Eluria, and visiting the Oracle. Adam, being the nice kid that he is, agrees to help to find Cetus. Without him, the inhabitants fall prey to a mutated, flesh-eating black manta one by one. Cetus' disappearance has lead to severe problems. And this is the place the dolphin ends up taking him to, a magical place where the king, a whale named Cetus, has disappeared. Actually, he later clarifies that only the underwater creatures from his same kingdom (actually, looks more like a city), Eluria, can talk. They usually just don't want to talk to the ignorant humans who destroy their world. In fact, all underwater creatures can (as it turns out). That's right: He befriends “Delphineus”, an injured dolphin which his father has nursed back to health. He is an introverted kid, and this introversion is the gate, as manner of speaking, to a magical world where reality and imagination mixes, which opens to him. But still it settles the ground for the rest of the story with a not unexpected twist. Those interests only alienate him even more from kids his own age. Instead, he seems to spend most of his time helping his father (who otherwise does not have a whole lot of time for his son) with his work. Although there are other (human) kids playing right outside, he can't just go and join them. In the introductory scene, we learn that he has problems making friends as he is quite shy. Adam is characterised a bit more than your usual faceless Sierra protagonist. Both kid and father have just moved, so Adam finds himself without friends, until he meets a dolphin rescued from a net. Here you will take the role of Adam, whose father is deeply involved in preserving natural life. So, let's begin with the first one, subtitled 'The Search for Cetus'. Consequently, it did not turn into a long series anymore: Only two parts have ever been released. Much later than the start of most of Sierra's 'endless' Adventure game series. The first part of Eco Quest, which we will be discussing today, came out in the early 90s. Views: 14904 Screenshots Review by Mr Creosote, Wandrell () Theme: Cartoon & Comic / Educational / Misc.
