Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals is a point and click adventure game developed by White Birds Productions and based on the graphic novels of Enki Bilal's The Nikopol Trilogy.
Plot
The year is 2023 and Paris is governed by a power-hungry dictator. Alcide Nikopol must try to find a way of joining the underground rebellion and help stop the dictator's iron fist rule. The history takes a turn towards the weird, as Nikopol finds out that his father - an astronaut sent into orbital exile in cryopreservation - may be alive and well in the city. At the same time, a strange pyramid hovers over Paris, and a rumour of Egyptian gods residing in it spreads like wildfire.
