Spirit Keeping & Paranormal Collecting Forum

For years I imagined making a completely FMV (full motion video) interactive story/puzzle game (think Myst but made entirely with videos). Last year I finally got around to figuring out how to make the game mechanics work, and little by little put together Yeli Orog. The game takes place in Asturias, Spain and was filmed in various locations there.

Yeli Orog is a FMV adventure game about an immense archaeological discovery: A bizarre stone tablet written in the Celtiberian language found buried underneath an ancient dolmen in northern Spain. The inscription written on the tablet tells a ghoulish tale believed to be the Celtiberian origin myth.

You play the role of Johnny Robin, an archaeologist sent to Asturias, Spain to assist in the recovery of Celtiberian remains. Upon arrival to Asturias you find yourself unexpectedly transported to an alien world, experiencing first-hand the terrifying story written on the ancient tablet.

If you are a fan of Myst-like games, paranormal stories, and FMV games, I think you will appreciate Yeli Orog. If you have any questions about the game let me know.

Here is the steam page, the game will be released on July 13th:

Are you going to be posting aside from advertising your game though, inquiring minds want to know

Yes, a bit. I have a thread waiting approval in the Herbs section.

Oo can you explain:
1. What Yeli Orog means and why you chose it as title?
2. What the glyphs found in the title are, since they look like old Chinese letters?

Its unknown what Yeli Orog means. It is the name of an ancient monster in the Celtiberian lore of the game, it comes from a time on Earth long forgotten.

That is an archaic unknown language associated with Yeli Orog and his realm.

Yeli Orog is now released:
