The Sequel To Nacah! The islands of Derek are inhabited by a people called the Matteh. Most of the Matteh are in absolute darkness. For the last few centuries they have been controlled by a false religion called the Dalaq. The Dalaq destroyed the Holy Bible, which was the only source of true light the Matteh had. Then they wrote new Bibles in a language the Matteh could not read.
Is there any hope for the Matteh? There is believed to be a secret group of sincere Matteh called the Qada that took copies of the Bible in the Matteh language and fled to a hidden spot in the mountains, but that was many years ago. Are they still there? Can they be found? Do you have what it takes to find them and set the Matteh people free again by bringing back to them the Bible in their own language? Only you can answer these questions.
Derek does not require any previous experience with Nacah, all you need is a willingness to explore!
The game is played from a first person perspective and is mouse driven. Inventory items are easier to recognize than those in Nacah are. The game incorporates static backgrounds, both with and without QuickTime overlays and uses QuickTime cutscenes. The game has some characters, with which there is interaction.
Another Christian adventure game, the storyline is far more developed this time. Instead of wandering, beating puzzles to get to a surreal conclusion, the game has a clear story. In the islands of Derek, the Matteh are a people living without God. They had their Bible taken from them by the Dalaq, a dominating force. But there is another people, the Qadas, who hold a copy of the Bible in the Matteh language. Your goal is to recover the guidance of the Bible to a people who have been without their faith for some generations.
All the puzzles are once again solved through clues that can be gained from reading indicated Scripture passages. There is a greater maturity to the puzzles than in Nacah, such that trial and error is not enough to solve them and they are integrated into the story.
The sound effects are more in evidence than in Nacah, with ambient noises, water, and footsteps adding to the experience. The music has a less one acoustic instrument "folk" sound giving some deeper sound textures.
Added Feature: "The Making of Derek" Video included with the game. Awesome addition!
