History Recap / DoctorWhoTAGE01CityoftheDaleks

He returns with the pieces necessary, constructs the chronon blocker in the form of a fancy bracelet, and Amy is saved! For the moment, anyway. Now they can start investigating. The Doctor figures the answers lie in the Supreme Council Chamber, but they first must find out if anyone's in there. So they go on another stealth mission to the visualizer room, and then one more to disable the giant eye in the room that acts as security (also a librarian, kinda). They are then able to see who's in the Supreme Council Chamber, and it is none other than the Dalek Emperor[[note]]A brand new version was made for this game. Now in blue, resembling the new blue Dalek introduced in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E3VictoryOfTheDaleks "Victory of the Daleks"]] as well as the Emperor in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E13ThePartingOfTheWays "The Parting of the Ways"]][[/note]]. And apparently there's a thingy there too; could it be what's causing all this? Only one way to find out: go ask the Emperor himself. They take a lift up to the floor where the room is located, and are immediately caught by some Daleks. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation They don't shoot them, but instead take them straight to the Dalek Emperor.]] After some interrogation, they find out they've managed to possess the Eye of Time; a powerful natural entity containing more power than every TARDIS ever existed, once owned by the Time Lords, lost when Gallifrey disappeared, and somehow discovered by the Daleks.

Amy returns with the items, and the visual limiter is complete. And just in time, too: the Daleks have returned with the Eye. Unfortunately the range is quite limited, but the Doctor believes they can boost it to create a larger radius if they attach it to the base of the dead Dalek Emperor. The problem is there are a rather large number of Daleks on patrol, leaving almost no room to sneak by. Amy makes use of herself fading away to zip by the patrol and is able to secure the visual limiter. The device is successful, and now all the Daleks can't see. In panic, they begin shooting wildly in an attempt to hit something. The Doctor carefully weaves through the lightshow and disables the generators powering the Eye of Time, but now needs to rush back to Amy or it explodes.

* ShoutOut: The story takes place in 1963, the year ''Series/DoctorWho'' debuted on television.

The first in the Adventure Games series, fully canonical {{licensed game}}s. "City of the Daleks" kicks things off, written by Phil Ford, who wrote the animated Tenth Doctor adventure "[[{{Recap/DoctorWho2009ASDreamland}} Dreamland]]".

The Doctor takes Amy to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E1AnUnearthlyChild London, 1963, 'the coolest place not just on earth, but the whole galaxy']] to see Music/TheBeatles. Except, it's in ruins. Along with the rest of the planet. Clearly that's not right. The Doctor and Amy suddenly see a woman running, and a Dalek follows giving chase while calling her the last remaining human being; woah, what? Cue the opening sequence, rendered in 3D like the rest of the game. It's like we're just watching an episode or something.

The Doctor and Amy quickly distract the Dalek Emperor so they can make there escape. Which is to jump into the Eye of Time. They emerge to a point in time right before the Daleks returned with the Eye; Skaro is still in ruins as well as the Dalek Emperor. They don't have much time until the Daleks return with the Eye, but the Emperor will be sending Daleks to chase after the Doctor and Amy even sooner. They set a trap and they're off to the visualizer room, but it seems the time jump has rendered the chronon blocker useless and now Amy is beginning to disappear again. In the visualizer room, they steal the visualizer eye which controls the vision of all the Daleks. The Doctor needs a few more materials to create a device that will interfere with the Daleks' vision, and Amy volunteers to fetch them. Since the planet is still in ruins, Varga plants have appeared in the hallways. Interestingly, the Daleks and Varga plants can't see Amy if she's in the middle of fading out. How convenient.
