Aeon Agon
Picture a world where the World Athletics Championships never existed – no records, no champions, no memories. Only you, a true athletics fan, hold the knowledge to solve the mystery and restore sporting history.
In Aeon Agon, players are thrust into an alternate reality where all traces of the World Athletics Championships have vanished mysteriously. They were erased mistakenly by PSU Theorem, a corporation that attempted to redesign the present through time travel.
Only the players, alongside the story’s protagonist, Agon, know the truth and have the power to restore the natural flow of events. Their efforts are guided by The Intern, a mysterious figure who sends Agon old tapes and images filled with fragmented information, revealing impossible encounters and distorted timelines. The Intern also frequently travels through time in an effort to fix the timeline.
The players and Agon are called to contribute valuable information to piece together the history of the World Athletics Championships, ensuring the sport’s legacy is preserved and reality is restored.
