Lock's Quest - Plot

Plot

The game world revolves around "Source", a mysterious ethereal substance. People professionaly trained in using Source, called Archineers, are the builders of the kingdom. The greatest archineer was Agonius. He discovered one of the great mysteries of the Source, he found that it can emulate life. He made automations, aptly named "clockworks". When the King found out about the Clockworks, he commanded Agonius to stop their production. Agonius refused, and he was banished from the kingdom. He wanted revenge on the kingdom, so he created a Clockwork Army and adopted the mantle of Lord Agony. Lord Agony used Source as fuel to create his evil clockwork army, while the Archineers used it to build defenses. The game started when a boy named Lock is asked by his grandpa named Tobias to build a sea wall so the village would not be flooded. Also, he asks Lock to look after his little sister Emi. After Lock builds the sea wall, he finds an archineer named Isaiah, who is badly wounded. Soon after, the clockwork soldiers attack Lock's town, he defends it to provide a distraction so the townspeople can escape, and in the process loses track of Emi. Lock sets out on a quest to find her and defeat Lord Agony. Eventually he joins the Archineer Guild. To begin with, he was given an oral Archineer exaination by the Chief Archineer, Kenan, after which he is assigned to defend different parts of the Kingdom. When he was fighting, he met a man named Gentz. Lock saved Gentz's village. He was awarded by Gentz an animal named Bluebit. When he back to Antonia, He discover that Jacob was the hero of the kingdom, but Kenan, (a cowardly man) ended up being the Chief Archineer. Kenan get mad when Lock tells the archineers in the room that Kenan was a coward, and weak archineer. He was banished from the title of archineer. He returns to his home village to find Emi and they are ambushed by clockworks. When they return to Antonia, Lock demands Kenan to tell the truth. They discover their grandfather is Agony's successor. He reveals to them that they are both clockworks, but Lock was given the original Agony's soul giving him true life. Lock was joined again to the archineer group. He is tasked to continue fighting in the war against the clockworks, until he is called back to Antonia for the final stand. There he defeats Lord Agony (his grandfather), but Agony accidentally fatally wounds Emi. Lock demands that Agony repair her, but before he can, they are attacked by Kenan, the leader of the Archineers. Kenan knows that new Agony is Jacob. Lock try to defend Jacob because he wants Emi fixed. Lock battles Kenan while Agony repairs Emi. Kenan is killed in combat, and afterward, Agony(Jacob) tells Lock he cannot fix Emi because she lacks a soul. When Agony and Lock are taken before the King for trial, Agony is sentenced to life in prison and Lock is pardoned due to his service to Antonia. Lock asks the king how to fix Emi back. The king tells Lock that a human can made as a clockwork, even the muscle, and their knowledge can be downloaded and can replace as a clockwork. And source can be manipulated to created life. But, life means it can talk and have feeling. To do that, they need soul to have true life. Lock later asks Agony if he will give Emi his soul, and he accepts. The game ends with Lock and Emi visiting their grandfather's grave. Agony was buried in the Lock's village. Emi put her teddy bear on her grandfather grave, then goes with Lock to play tag at the source well.
