Backstory

“Mayday, mayday, mayday! This is Aircraft 382. We’ve lost control and are moving off course,” the pilot quickly signals, trying to maintain his composure. There is only silence on the other end of the call. “We are losing altitude, please respond!” Panic sets in as all that can be heard is shrilling static and a brief click. Connection is lost, and the ground is fast approaching. Despite his best efforts, all the pilot can do now is tell the passengers to brace for impact.

After a few moments, the pilot opens his eyes. He looks around, dazed and confused. All he remembers is that they were flying over Central America. Miraculously, it appears that everyone has survived the crash. However, the relief is short-lived. Cellphones are dead, watches are frozen, and there is something alluring about venturing deeper into the surrounding jungle. The survivors quickly learn that they are not alone. The plane crash survivors encounter a group of expeditioners who explain how they were drawn to the jungle in hopes of finding an ancient temple rumored to hold immense treasure. The expeditioners also inform them of tourists and conquistadors who have been trapped in this jungle for decades. There is no particular rhyme or reason for entering the jungle; all that is known is that time is frozen and there is no ending or beginning to this vast terrain. The expeditioners suspect that their only hope of escape lies within the ancient temple.

Uncharted Ruins is a cooperative game in which different groups of survivors and explorers must band together and navigate their way to the ancient temple, the key to their escape. Unfortunately, the journey will not be easy. Treacherous traps and poisonous predators lie ahead. Each group must depend on each other and their individual skill set to collect resources and treasure, avoid the hazardous events that will cross their paths, and, most importantly, survive. Can they escape, or will they die trying?
