Historical Records
Most of the story of Atlantis will be portrayed through journals and written records. These records and journals will be written in the Atlantis language. An early puzzle for the player will be to learn to read the Atlantian language. Once the player solves this puzzle, all of the records and journals will be translated automatically for the player.
One way of showing this automatic translation process would be to show the original Atlantian text, and have the English translation be read by the author of the text or by the missionary reading the text. Behind the text static hand drawn images will appear portraying the events being recorded. This will draw the player more into the story than if we just had the player read the journal.
