This is a point-and-click adventure that's traditional in some ways and stunningly original in others. In this game your goal is not to solve a mystery or go on a journey, but instead to complete a cycle of magic spells that's thousands of years old. Your quest will take you throughout time and ultimately to Earth's moon. You are in a house that has been abandoned for some time, but you seem to be its new owner. Exploring the house reveals strange objects, quirky clues written on scraps of paper, and hidden keys. Once you can get into your house's basement, you'll find out it was previously inhabited by a magic-user that passed away before finishing his (or her) life's work. Now you have the magic book he or she left behind, giving you the opportunity to master great magic powers. You progress by gathering up objects and using them at the correct time. You may need to bribe NPCs with them, combine them, or brew them together into potions. Beware, you can die abruptly. But, the main challenge that faces you is keeping track of all the items you'll need to complete your various tasks, since you don't have enough inventory space to just carry everything around. Your magic book contains 12 tasks and you must complete them in order. You can gather up required objects in any order, but it's hard to get ahead of yourself. |
