Abstract
"The Fifth Empire" is a single-player action adventure game in 2D. Centering around an adaptation of the myth the Fifth Empire (Nebuchadnezzar's dream and its interpretation by prophet Daniel) [1] is an epic allegory of the human condition, with a reinterpretation of European and Portuguese history as backdrop. This is a project that is still in process, which main goal is the development of an attractive videogame, with a strong and enriched educational purpose, since the game takes place in a real and historical setting. Moreover, through entertainment, the game should promote curiosity about the Portuguese history and motivate a more detailed study by the target audience.
