A pine marten with a huge sword strapped accross it's back looks at a fantasy village. A screen hot from the game The Chronicles of Marten. First person view down a cavern made whose walls appear to be the inside of a human brain. The cavern is decorrated with houshold items. The player's hands are silhouetted against the scene.
