Haven: Call of The King - Plot

Plot

The intro movie shows Lord Vetch for the first time when he gets a call from the Overlord. The Overlord tells Vetch that there is a boy who knows about the Golden Voice. The Overlord asks if he should be executed, but Vetch thinks Haven should be watched closely instead. At the end of this call, the game shows Haven in his house building a robot bird. When it fails to work, he pounds it and it comes to life, creating Talon. He exits his house, but his boss is outside. Apparently, Haven had accidentally hurt his boss's foot with his pickaxe, thinking it was a rock then claiming anybody could have made that mistake. When Talon trips the boss causing him to fall into a bucket of feathers, Haven runs into a cave where a guard is asking Chess questions. The guard tries to shoot Haven, but misses causing the cave to collapse.

This is the first time the player gets to play Haven. The player must get Haven to escape the mine without being crushed by rocks. At the end of the mine, another cutscene shows him tripping over a rock (this is unpreventable). He then wakes up in Doctor Spong's office where Talon stops to recharge. When he exits the house, the game begins.

Once you do that, you come across many different things, Haven finds out that there's a volcano at the other side of Ferra, but must be careful as the guards are after him. Once he reaches there he must go deep down to find an old Aurian map, after you kill a dragon.

Then Haven gets arrested by a guard and ends up in a cell in space, now Haven must escape which he blows up the sylex cells (mission) to escape but ends up in Exarco. He then agrees to help the creatures and find another ship to get to the Mount of Sighs.

He kills the zeno queen and escapes, he arrives in Auria and finds the bell and rings it but has a problem, Chess is in trouble and she needs his help, he returns to save her and they go in search to find catlana, the virus antidote. Chess goes and finds a new ship but it is a ship with Vetch and his guards, they get put in cells but only Haven can escape as the guard did not lock his cell.

As he can't open Chess', he finds a ship and chases Vetch, when he finds him he sees the King is being poisoned. Now you must press the correct buttons to defeat Vetch but...........

By the end of this game, Haven is chained to a rock, the King is killed, Vetch escapes, and it's revealed that Chess is a traitor. If the player has collected all of the runestones, completed all the runes challenges and has all 8 (2 on Auria, 2 on Ferra, 2 on Ferven, one on Exarco, and 1 on Nequam) black diamonds, an alternate ending can be viewed.

The game was supposed to be a part of a trilogy, but due to incredibly poor sales, the story never continued or was ever finished.

Many of the missions require you to collect Cogs to operate machinery which will take you to another level or another part of the level.
