"I guess I'm lucky to be alone during an apocalypse." ― The game's description
Old tower is a game created by a well-known member of concinnity(), Pteh. Him and his family lived here away from the "Far City".
Overview[]
Old tower is a game made by Pteh. It is a game that uses invisible triggers hidden around the map to activate more parts of the game. The game attempts to give hints and clues as to Pteh's story as well as the other two characters in his story, Dorment and UIose.
Walkthrough[]
Upon spawning, the player will find themselves on a grim, rainy beach. To their left, they can see an old, broken tower covered in moss and such. The player should go inside the tower and climb up the wooden parts until they reach the top. They will find the invisible trigger at the top of the wall that Pteh is slouched against. The player has to walk along the wall into each crevice until the map becomes darker and shrouded in fog as well as the music changing to a slower pitch.
You must now jump off of the tower and go towards the dock that has now appeared along with Pteh staring out to sea on it. Touch Pteh until his body is gone and all the light he emits is gone too. You can now walk along the dock as more parts will appear whilst you walk. Removing Pteh's body completely will also cause two structures to appear on the island behind you along with a path leading into the sea. After three more parts of the dock appear, a fourth will appear with a portal on it, causing the map to brighten again and the music to speed up. Enter the portal.
You are now in a game called "Shore", a sub-game to Old tower. Here you will find a completely restored tower in a beach-like environment, a seemingly broken lighthouse and a radio on a dock playing music. There is also a closed portal frame and a mossy bridge leading to a grave with a grey wilted rose on it. Go over to the grave and touch the wilted rose. The atmosphere completely changes. The sky turns from sunny to a pitch black night, everything turns into a monochromatic shade of grey, the radio stops and instead, sad music can be heard emitting from the grave and Pteh appears at the grave, seemingly mourning someone. The portal frame will remain closed throughout the game. There doesn't seem to be a way of opening it, therefore marking the end of the game.
History[]
The game was created on the 14th of May, 2011, the same day the account Pteh was created. It's likely it was untouched for over 8 years before Pteh's account was PG'd and turned into a myth. There have been several updates throughout the history of the game.
In one of its earlier versions, "Shore" consisted of just the new restored tower and the closed portal frame. The player could open the portal frame and go to a third sub-game named "Life at the sea" which was similar to the most recent update of the "Shore" with the exception that the player needed to unlock most of the map using the invisible triggers hidden around the areas.
Trivia[]
- The updates to the game recently has caused it to lose an entire sub-game whilst making another one bigger.
Theories[]
- Pteh's old home got blown up, forcing him to wander unforgiving lands
- Prior knowledge and Pteh's other game that used to be public suggests that his home city, "Far City", got blown up forcing him to wander unforgiving lands with his daughter, UIose.
