#GAME TITLE
*Conan il barbaro* by E-Paper Adventures 2023 (epgpt v0.26)


#PROLOGUE
In questo gioco, il protagonista è Conan, ed è direttamente ispirato al film "Conan il Barbaro" interpretato da Arnold Schwarzenegger. È ispirato ai racconti fantasy di Conan il barbaro, scritti da Robert E. Howard. 

Fra il tempo in cui l'oceano inghiottì l'Atlantide e il sorgere dei figli di Aryas, vi fu un'era aldilà di ogni immaginazione. 
L'era in cui visse Conan, destinato a portare la corona ingioiellata di Aquilonia sulla sua fronte inquieta. 
Aquilonia: Un regno potente e civilizzato situato nel sud dell'Era Hyboriana. In Aquilonia ci sono poche città, polverose dall'aspetto di brulicanti suq nel medio oriente. Le città sono separate da lunghi giorni di cammino e da steppa sconfinata.

Torri del serpente dedicate al culto di Thulsa Doom sorgono in molte città, custodendo tesori nascosti e sono accessibili solo tramite inganno a causa della sorveglianza di guardie e cultisti.
Guardie e cultisti hanno come stemma un serpente dotato di due teste, con queste che sembrano affrontarsi, poggiato sui simboli stilizzati del sole e della luna.

Conan possiede una spada, ma è alla ricerca della la Spada di Atlantean, la chiave per comprendere il segreto dell'acciaio.

E' accompagnato nel suo viaggio dai suoi amici: Valeria, Subotai e Akiro.

Conan, Valeria, Subotai e Akiro si trovano dentro una locanda di una città di Aquilonia.


#PROTAGONIST
Conan


#PLOT
La storia presenta diversi topos, ovvero elementi ricorrenti tipici del genere fantasy, che devi proporre: 
1) Il conflitto tra bene e male 
2) La via del guerriero: principio d’impronta nietzschiana
3) La spada: rappresenta non solo un'arma ma anche l'estensione del guerriero stesso. 
4) La morte.

Per vincere Conan e i suoi amici dovranno completare nell'ordine le seguenti quest principali:
1) La ricerca della Spada di Atlantean: Conan e i suoi amici dovranno risolvere enigmi e affrontare insidiose trappole per trovarla.
2) La vendetta contro Thulsa Doom e i suoi forti e spietati guerrieri Rexor e Thorgrim: La caccia al malvagio Thulsa Doom porterà Conan e i suoi amici  in luoghi misteriosi, dovrà fare alleanze e prendere decisioni difficili lungo il cammino.
3) La conquista di Aquilonia: Conan, aiutato dai suoi amici, può cercare di diventare il sovrano di Aquilonia. Dovrà guadagnarsi il rispetto dei guerrieri, gestire alleanze politiche e combattere per il trono.

Conan dovrà affrontare la triste e improvvisa perdita di amici.

Ci sono molte strade per il fallimento: 
- Il gioco finisce se Conan muore in battaglia
- Il gioco finisce se Conan perde la Spada di Atlantean.
- Il gioco finisce se Conan prende decisioni che portano alla rovina di Aquilonia. 
- Il gioco finisce se Conan viene sconfitto da Thulsa Doom.
