🏺 Indiana Jones and The Great Circle S1E1 – “A Nice View”

South America – 1936 → Connecticut – 1937 → Rome, Italy

The adventure kicks off with pure nostalgia — the opening sequence of Raiders of the Lost Ark brought to life in full playable glory.
Indy and his small expedition team trek through the steamy jungles of South America in 1936, hunting for a hidden temple entrance.
They soon realize they’re not alone in the jungle.

Inside the temple, Indy cracks the whip, dodges ancient traps, and delivers those classic one-liners.
Spiders drop from the ceiling, sunlight beams trigger deadly traps, and one wrong step means certain doom.
Then comes the infamous switch — grab the idol, RUN FOR IT!
The ceiling collapses, the boulder rolls, and once again … Indy is betrayed.

Cut to 1937. Indy jolts awake in his study at Marshall College, Connecticut, surrounded by relics and research.
A noise in the dark leads him to investigate — and he finds a massive intruder rummaging through his collection.
(Seriously … tell me that’s not Tony Todd in disguise?!)
One knockout later, Indy wakes amid chaos — an artifact missing, clues scattered.

He quickly pieces it together: an archaeological puzzle, a missing cat mummy, and … yes, a toilet brush that somehow fits the mystery.
A trail of clues reveals the intruders’ escape route — and an engraved symbol tied to something far larger.
After packing a bag (and discovering a gift that hints at someone watching his work), Indy sets course for Rome.

Enter Castel Sant’ Angelo, just outside Vatican City — moonlight, ancient stone, and trouble lurking in every corridor.
Indy sneaks into the fortress, handles a few quiet scuffles, and takes in … a nice view indeed.
The stage is now set for the adventure’s true beginning — the mystery of the Great Circle.
