Description
Kyrandia is a land of dark, mysterious forests, and sleeping dragons. A fantastic land where rubies grow on trees and magic abounds. Who would imagine that a land so idyllic would spawn a murderer so demented? Some say that the court jester, Malcolm, was mad to begin with. Others whisper in sly, conspiratorial tones that it was his burning desire to possess the precious Kyragem that slowly drove him to slay the peaceful King William.

As the rightful prince of Kyrandia, you must pursue the elusive Malcolm to recover the powerful gemstone. Only then will you be able to reclaim the throne and restore harmony to the land of Kyrandia. The Legend of Kyrandia awaits you!
  • A true classic - this forgotten gem from the early 90s is a must-have for every adventure game fan!
  • Four chapters of progressively more challenging quests that will have you casting spells, searching strangely-lit caverns, collecting gemstones, and chasing down leprechauns.
  • Bewitching scenery, smartly written dialogues, and atmospheric music will make your visit to Kyrandia unforgettable.

A terrible first in a legendary series

The final two games in this series are rightfully classics, but this first outing is an exercise in frustration. The puzzles are either feeble or down to pure trial and error. The game is padded for time with mazes, backtracking, limited inventory space and items from the beginning used in later puzzles. The only reason I give this game even 2 stars is the wonderful atmosphere; the art is beautiful, the characters are magical and the music is great. Even the voice acting is passable at times! I would only recommend you play this for sentimentality (like I did) or to see where the other two games came from.

OMG ITS HERE!?

I pretty much died when I found out I could download this online without having to buy the CD online AND it was compatible with my Mac! I am so shocked. And so cheap! This was one of my first adventure games. Nostalgia all the way. Thank you for whoever made it possible for me and everyone else to enjoy this and so easily!!!!!!

It's not King's Quest!

The Kyrandia series was a wonderful series. Though it clearly was an attempt at Westwood to capture the incredible success of Sierra; these games managed to stand their on their own for their unique ways they did puzzles slightly different than what you saw in Sierra games. It was funny that Westwood was asked (forced?) to slap labels on the first game, explaining that it was not a King's Quest game. It does look VERY similar to how the King's Quest games looked, but the folks at Westwood took a fun twist to how they handled puzzles. Some of them are odd - and almost impossible to figure out (the gems!), and then there was the things like the Berry Maze (but the folks at Sierra did this too; for example in King's Quest IV and even in Space Quest - gem in the mouth anyone?) I loved these games when they came out and still love them now.

A beautiful game

I am so excited to see this game on GOG! It's a true masterpiece of charming music, visuals, and storytelling. I highly recommend it to fans of the adventure game genre - it's a fantastic classic that survives the test of time well.

It means more Westwood games!

OMG, I was expecting Lucasarts stuff, but GOG always surprises me! So, Kyrandia is finally here... it's the second Westwood game released on GOG since NOX, which could means more Westwood games are following, including Dune series, C&C/RA series, Lands of Lore series and ... Blade Runner! Long live GOG.com.
