Far Cry Demo #1 file

***Introduction***
Far Cry is a tactical, first-person-perspective action game set in a tropical
paradise. During play you will be informed of the story and objectives by
occasional video sequences, and prompts on the head up display (HUD).

***STORY***
Jack Carver has left his mysterious and bitter past behind and dropped out of
society to run a boat charter business in the South Pacific. He is hired by
Valerie Cortez to take her secretly to an uncharted island in Micronesia.
After Val is safely delivered to the island, Jack's boat is suddenly attacked
and Jack escapes. Thousands of miles from nowhere, with his only friend lost
somewhere in the depths of an uncharted jungle, he must find his way back to
civilization.

- Main characters (not all seen in the demo)
Jack Carver: A charter boat captain in the South Pacific, Jack has been hired
to take Val to an uncharted island in Micronesia, ostensibly to take pictures
of the little known Japanese WWII ruins there.

Valerie Cortez: An American photo-journalist working for Exotic Travel
magazine, Val seems a bit too professional for your run-of-the-mill freelance
photographer.

Harlan Doyle: Jack's main contact on the island once the mystery begins. He
seems to know a lot about what is going on, but is none too eager to reveal his
own identity.

George Wilhelm Krieger: Ex World Health Organization scientist, who disappeared
some 5 years ago under mysterious circumstances surrounding his controversial
genetics research.

Col. Richard Crow: Soldier of Fortune of unknown origin. Head of a mercenary
force which protects Dr. Krieger's island installation

Mercenaries: Hired goons and killers. Scum of the earth. Trained killers, they
aren't paid to ask questions.
