About the game

What is Backstories: The Emerald Wedding Anniversary?

As the elite agent Nyx in Backstories: The Emerald Wedding Anniversary, you must thwart the dark machinations of the fearsome General Darcosa. Infiltration, discretion and composure will be your allies to sneak into his lair, dodge his formidable traps, and steal the precious Top Secret hard drive. Backstories is a co-operative adventure game series that works the same way as a "point & click". Thanks to a clever system of perforated cards, you will reveal the consequences of your choices. Choose an action (perforated) card (Search, Talk, Explore, etc.), place it on the back of a location card, and have a look at the result of your choice! Several endings are possible.
