in a game called Physicus" (or something) you came to an island thingy to stop the world from ending.
The plot is the core of the earth has stopped spinning and a scientist built a machine that would make it start moving again. He didn't have enough time to calibrate it and get the rigt voltage etc. before the people evacuated the island.
He dropped all his things and left behind a cool laptop-type thing for you to use in your hjourney. On it are recordings of physics stuff, it's kinda like going through an interactive learning thing. You have to use the knowledge on the laptop to get through puzzles etc so you can get the machine to work. It's like Myst (yeah, that game
) except with physics and stuff involved.
EDIT: Oops, the laptop isn't what i wanted to describe. next to the laptop is a TFV set that has a fixed recording showing the device he used and a commentary on what's going on, and then a clip of a ship (an old wodden one propelled by sails) sailing away.
I am unaware of the story behind Lugaru and would like to see Jeff or David post a bit about it. it's nice to have something to work off of other than "here's a big stick, go hit bunnies with it. A little recording would be cool, and ruins of humankind and stuff would be nice, like the tip of a skyscraper sticking out of the ocean that you can see if you go all the way to the western part of the island, but you can't get to it (unless Dave adds boats... which i doubt.)
