Mawthorne 1971810 On Steam
A Special Message from CGT
Hello there! I would like to personally thank you for purchasing this physical
copy of Mawthorne! Without you, this game would have never been made! I may
not be the best designer, composer, or artist – but I take my creations very
seriously and put everything I have into them (and I hope it shows). Mawthorne
is the second game in the “CGT-verse”, and does not fail in offering a quest
full of action and adventure! Mawthorne has been in production for over a year
(plus several months of bug testing) to ensure the quality of this title
before entering your hands. I personally feel that many newer “retro” titles
don’t quite reach the bar and skate by on the most minimal of effort for a
quick buck. There are some amazing titles of course – and I want
CrazyGroupTrio Games to become synonymous with that type of quality. So you’ll
know when you spend your hard earned money on one of my games you know you’re
in for a good time.
Thank you again, and I hope you enjoy your time with mawthorne! Until the next
game!
INTRODUCTION
Long ago, the distant planet Ozahk had achieved peace after decades of war,
and focused on technological progress. Then the Day of Red Rain occurred. The
Red Rain corrupted and killed anything that it touched. Unable to stop the
rain, the Ozahk’s retreated to their capital city and sank the city deep
underground to escape the rain. During this process, an asteroid crashed into
the planet, plunging deep underground and allowing the Red Rain to fill the
underground caverns. The rain stopped, however the blood-red liquid continued
to flood the planet, leaving the remaining Ozahk scientists to conclude that
the liquid was originating from the asteroid – a place they could not
physically reach.
In a last desperate attempt, the Ozahk sent out a signal to the stars in hopes
that another intelligent race could aid them in their plight. Several days
passed before they received a response – schematics for the construction of a
homunculus that would be immune to the Red Rain and could reach the asteroid.
They were able to successfully build the synthetic lifeform and dubbed him
Mawthorne.
Will Mawthorne be able to traverse the ancient underground passageways to
reach the asteroid and save the Ozahk people?
- Their fate is in your hands!
BOSSES (cont.)
BATTERIES
- There are battery generators deep underground. All batteries change the world in different ways either by opening doors or making areas weaker and easier to traverse – but destroying a battery is a tough challenge!
MAWGUARD
-
You will find many locked doors on your quest, and Mawguard keeps most of these doors shut. His design is similar to Hawthorne’s. Perhaps he’s an early prototype?
-
There are many more bosses awaiting you! Some are necessary while some are optional! The better question is – who is behind the catastrophe on Ozahk?
ENEMIES (cont.)
ANCIENT TECH
- This ancient technology is still operating for many centuries.
- They will attack you in several different forms.
OZARDH
- These lizard creatures were once Ozahk, but were corrupted by the Red Rain.
- They seem more organized than other creatures and use weapons.
BOSSES
BARREN KNIGHT
- Forever protecting the ancient water factory, this boss can create Robo-Sentry heads to attack you. What other powers does he hide?
SEWER MAGICIAN
- This boss has locked the door to keep out the deeper areas of the underground. Defeat him and you can progress – if you dare!
HOW TO PLAY
Mawthorne is an open-world platformer. Explore the world and defeat enemies to
venture deeper underground and find your way to the fallen asteroid. Swing
your heavy arms to create a blade of energy to fling at your foes. Attacking
twice in a row will unleash a stronger energy blade that will move farther,
but beware as this will hold you in place for a moment. You can also attack in
the air! Defeat powerful creatures that will unlock deeper areas of the
underground. Occasionally creatures will drop health pickups that will heal
Mawthorne. If you are defeated on your quest, fear not! There are save
crystals that can record your progress to that point, but they have a limit of
three charges. After that, you’ll find yourself back at the start as a new
Mawthorne to continue the adventure!
CHARACTERS
MAWTHORNE
The protagonist of our story! His body is made of a tough alloy that makes his body very heavy. Swinging his arms creates a blade of energy. Mawthorne was created as a last resort by the Ozahk to withstand the Red Rain with schematics received from a mysterious source from the stars. Who could it be?
THE 0ZAHKS
- The Ozahks are the victims of our tale. The planet Ozahk is their home, and they created Mawthorne in an attempt to save it.
- The aftermath of Red Rain has altered their appearance and health, but they have still mapped out the underground and offered hints to aid their creation.
ENEMIES
- A handful of enemies you will encounter on your journey!
ROBO SENTRY & SPIRIT
- A mechanical guard that protects ancient factories. Even when shut down, their spirit may remain!
TOITLE
- One of the first animals to be tainted by the Red Rain. This is one turtle that does not require rescuing!
JELLEYE
- This alien creature is accustomed to living in Red Rain. It moves quickly and will shoot at you!
SONIC GATOR
- A lizard creature that resides in the sewers. It moves fast and fires sonic blasts from its mouth!
