The Golden Compass

The novel Northern Lights, the first book in Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy, inspired the 2007 film of the same name, which in turn was based on the novel The Golden Compass, which British author Philip Pullman wrote. The game story takes place in a fanciful realm analogous to our own, except in this universe, people’s souls reside outside their bodies and take the form of creatures known as daemons. Lyra Belacqua is going to be your primary focus. The malicious Gobblers abduct her best friend, Roger, and her uncle Lord Asriel is imprisoned when he discovers evidence that proves the existence of Dust particles. This causes great consternation among the Magisterial representatives who rule the world as a dogmatic theocracy and do not permit people to contradict their doctrine. Both of these events occur due to Lord Asriel’s discovery of the evidence that proves the existence of Dust particles. For Lyra to put everything back in order, she will have to abandon the Jordan College in Oxford sanctuary.
