The game is set in ancient times in the Middle East. To be more precise, it takes place between Aquaba and the Dead Sea in Jordan and begins in the year 124 AD, a few years after the Nabataean Kingdom became part of the Roman Empire. You play a tourist of our century, who is about to experience a strange phenomenon.

There is many other reconstitution to do in this project. We're talking about reconstructing a town with 25,000 inhabitants. There are many examples of the works in progress:
Below you can see a reconstruction of a model taken using photogrammetry at Petra.
But we don't only create 3D models, we need to study the topography with the help of many research and maps :

Gameplay
In The Wonderlands: Petra, the choice of profession has a major influence on gameplay. For the examples below, the chosen profession is sewing. Objects are highly customizable as the game progresses. It's even possible to create original pieces!
For example, you can launch a fashion in antiquity, and the npgs will follow… or not!
Profession also determines fighting style - it's easier to fight with techniques and objects you've mastered.
In this case, sewing, the player will fight with pins and threads, as well as a small knife, resulting in a light but very nervous damage.
There are several possible professions in The Wonderlands: Petra, divided into two classes: creative/craft professions and personal services.
Here are just a few, starting with the creative professions:
