AVOLTEHA The extraordinary planet where Paul embarks on his greatest adventure. Avolteha is covered by landscapes full of sand, rock and volcanoes. One element you look for in vain here. Water - the source of all life. The only water is found in the clouds that pass over Avolteha. The only way to get this precious commodity is a type of mushroom that can extract the water. The inhabitants of Avolteha therefore began many years ago to build their settlement around those mushrooms. Over time, however, the mushrooms began to sprout their roots higher and higher. To restore the water supply, Paul and his friends built a connection from the new cloud city downwards. In the meantime, Paul no longer lives in the city. Now, however, he received a letter. His friends needed his help. The water source had gone out once again. What happened? Paul's greatest adventure is ahead of him. The great riddle of Avolteha is waiting for him and wants to be solved. It must be solved - for the good of all the inhabitants of this wonderful planet. ABOUT THE GAME Avolteha is a classic point & click adventure game for the whole family. GAME CONTROLS Paul can easily pocket items along the way and take them with him on his journey.
