Description
D'arc is sixteen years old. He has trained extensively in the Elemental arts for the past decade, under the discerning eyes of the Mage Masters of Iginor. Confined to an existence of academics and magical mastery in their tower, the inquisitive Initiate often wonders what it would be like to explore the secluded outside world.

D'arc's moment of reckoning arrives and his Masters put him to the test. The young Initiate is tasked with retrieving three items, which will test his magical and mental strength to full capacity:

A lock of hair from a powerful Enchantress.

The unspoiled shell of Griffon's egg.

The three-pronged horn of the legendary Trinicorn.

Join D'arc on a perilous journey across the medieval-styled land of Iginor. Brave the perilous Bloodbark forest where the Redcap goblins stalk. Trek across a barren desert wasteland rife with lawless Bandits and fierce Burrowers. Navigate over a vast lake where evil masquerades as beauty. And ascend beyond the lofty mountain peaks where the mysterious and hostile Flyterians dwell, suspicious of all outsiders. It is time for D'arc to prove himself.

Three quests. One chance. Will D'arc succeed and take his place among his fellow Mages?

We waited 10 years and it was worth the wait.

As Kingsquest fan's we waited for 10 years to be able to play that game. 10 years is a long time to create a game and as we play it now the second time we begin to understand what work went into it. Actually you buy 4 games instead of one. We found it amazing that every element seems to have a different story, which means if you are a fire mage you make different experiences as if you are an earth mage ( which we are now) and the storyline is slightly different. It reminds us very well of the old King Quest games even the adventure hat is seen somewhere in the game as well as other subtle references. The combat scenes are good for us as we do not fancy to battle too much. We rather use our head to find solutions :). The story is deep and interesting. There is also a lot of humor in the game which made us laugh a lot. It was worth the wait and now I got no time to write more as we want to play again. Well done and thank you

A good game if you appreciate the genre

Despite the bad reviews I decided to try the game for myself. I completed the first task so far and I like it. The combat is not so bad as people describe it in the comments. This must be added to your games if you are a fan of Point N' Click puzzle games of the past. Enjoy :)

Frustrating and annoying

Was so annoyed by the beginning that I stopped there. Nothing interesting in the first 20 minutes so that was it.
