Description Heart of China
Kate, the daughter of a wealthy businessman named E. A. Lomax, is kidnapped by a Chinese warlord named Li Deng near Chengdu, where she was volunteering as a nurse. Lomax recruits former World War I fighter pilot Jake 'Lucky' Masters for a dangerous mission: travel to Hong Kong, track down a mysterious ninja and find a way to infiltrate Li Deng's fortress and rescue Kate.
Heart of China is an adventure game with a romantic theme somewhat reminiscent of movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark. The game is set in 1930s China, as well as other locations. It uses a simple point-and-click system to interact and manipulate objects, and is very similar visually and in gameplay to Rise of the Dragon.
Some of the game's tasks have multiple solutions, allowing the player to follow different methods and choose different answers in branching dialogues. However, some choices may lead to the death of the protagonist or lead the investigation to a dead end. There are also some arcade sequences, which can be skipped if the player fails to complete them after several attempts. The game uses digitized photos of live actors superimposed on hand-painted graphics.
