The Artifact Hunter is an adventure shooter with role-playing elements and a first-person view. My name is John Eagle. I was born in 1890 to a British colonel, Lawrence Eagle, and a native Canadian, Avni Laloma, from the Ottawa Tribe. In 1918 I was about to begin my studies at the University of Toronto at the Institute of Archaeology, but when the girl I loved broke my heart, I changed my mind and decided to drop out. To prove that I was worthy of her hand, I enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. A few months later I found myself in the grip of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Now I know how naive I was when I went for it. Now I'm an artifact hunter, making millions of dollars by looting ancient tombs. How did I turn from an idealist in love with art into a professional looter? This is my story... but trust me. It's dark like old Scotch whiskey.
