History VideoGame / JamestownLegendOfTheLostColony

You see, this is a SchizoTech version of the era of [[UsefulNotes/TheThirteenAmericanColonies]], with airships capable of taking off into space, and man has colonized ''Mars''. The colony of Jamestown in particular is set in contested territory, with the English fighting against a joint effort between the Spanish and the indigenous Martians. After barely surviving a recent attack, Raleigh flies onward searching for UsefulNotes/TheLostColonyOfRoanoke. From there, the clues in the way slowly bring our protagonist towards the uncovering of an EvilPlan engineered by the Spanish general that may put all of the colonies in danger.

* TheEndOrIsIt: Right after you defeat the final boss, see the ending and the credits, the words 'The End...' show up in a black screen... Followed by a pair of question marks shortly after, and a pair of [[RedEyesTakeWarning ominous red eyes]] flashing right above the words (similar to the Final Form logo). At first, this and the name of some Steam achievements hinted at a TrueFinalBoss, but it turns out it's only a SequelHook if anything.

* WhamLine: "The Romans called it... Mars."

* HistoricalVillainDowngrade: In real life, Raleigh was basically the British version of Benedict Arnold. Here, he's the only thing standing between the Spanish and multi-world domination.

** Averted. The composer confirmed that there are actual lyrics to the last level's song, and that they are not in latin.
