Description
An open-world game in ancient Babylon and surrounding region, with elements of action, exploration and city destruction. Archaeologically accurate buildings such as the Tower of Babel and the Hanging Gardens. Voice-acted in Akkadian language in a Biblical and Babylonian mythological background. The year is 539 BC, the time when the Babylonian empire feel to the Persians and its Jewish captives released from servitude after 70 years. As prophesied, Babylon is to be destroyed.
History
Babylon is just too big and famous and still there were no games created in this civilization.
Ilum was created to address this. The game will show all the aspects of that culture and history, embedded in an open-world environment that will keep players immersed and entertained throughout the experience and narrative.
Attention was given to all details, such as archaeological evidences, to provide depiction accuracy to what the cities would look like at that time.
Open-world games are usually full of fake scenarios, for example, house facades that presents no player interaction whatsoever, and only serve as a scenario detail. In Ilum, all houses and builds are interactable, so players can enter them, destroy any objects inside and interact with NPCs living inside them.
Several experimental and innovative game mechanics were introduced in the game, to try to give this segment some freshness and provide the players what they want most: fun.
