Description
Embark on a prophecy-driven quest in this classic fantasy RPG. Battle the encroaching Shadow Lords, navigate a world where magic is illegal, and uncover the truth behind a master's treacherous death. Real-time combat, spell-learning, and captivating storytelling await in this post AD&D-era gem.

"The dreaded Prophecy long foretold is nearly upon us! The rise of the Shadow Lord will surely mark the fall of civilization as we know it. Brave adventurer, you must not let this come to pass!"

With these haunting words, the Magic Council sends you off on a quest filled with danger, magic and puzzles in a land replete with untamed wilderness, quaint hamlets, majestic castles, labyrinthine catacombs and dark dungeons.

Prophecy of the Shadow is SSI's exciting single-character role-playing game that uses state-of-the-art technology to breathe life into a mystical fantasy.

Stunning cinematics with over fifty digitized art and animation sequences, including characters in full costume.

Simple point-and-click interface with icon-based commands and graphical inventories makes game fast and easy to play. Learn words and converse from an icon bar by simply clicking on the word.

Over 50 sound effects and a continuous FM soundtrack enhance the action.

Three perspective viewpoints: an adventure view allows you to explore this exciting world and engage in combat; an up-close-and-personal mode lets you converse with Non-Player-Controlled Characters; and through the use of magic, an eagle's view of the world.

A large, complex world - both above and below ground - that you must save!

Finally!

I've been waiting for a long time for this. This is a great RPG that's got some original features, and an interesting story that compels you on. Most interestingly, this whole game was done mostly by one programmer. He includes photo and video-based characters and some interesting combat features. I had this years ago, and I never finished it. I've been waiting nearly 30 years to buy this again. Instabuy!

Great Game

I've owned this game since it came out years ago, but am glad to have it in my GoG library. I "think" I finished it once, but will make sure I do this time around.
