Description

Scott Greig worked countless years to get The Dark Heart of Uukrul rereleased. This is dedicated to him.

You four - a warrior, a magician, a priest and a paladin - you tiny band of four must somehow vanquish the evil Uukrul. For he and his depraved followers hold the once-lovely city of Eriosthé in dark dominion. And until he is destroyed, the entire land lies helplessly at his mercy.


More than merely vicious, Uukrul is literally heartless. To free his body from the material plane, he has actually detached his soul - and hidden his heart deep in the mountain city's maze-like passages. But where is his heart, and how is it protected? What are the heart-shaped keys that lie hidden in the far reaches of Eriosthé?

And how can you defeat him when you at last capture his dark heart?


In your quest, you'll be armed with magic, prayers, spells and weapons... but you'll need courage and quick wits as well. For you'll be challenged at every step of the way by baffling puzzles and packs of savage monsters... until finally you must face Uukrul himself!

An Absolute Classic!

Wow, it's finally here! I actually just noticed this was available, pretty much as of the time of writing this review, but bought it instantaneously. I was one of those who would write letters, asking for this game to be listed on GOG; so very many thanks to those (Scott Greig, et al) who made it happen. I was in college (Syracuse University) when this was released. I recall seeing it within a store, and though I bought it immediately, I almost wished I hadn't, as I played it for far too long instead of going to classes, and boy, did my grades suffer! Anyhow, I have just played it for an hour and am looking forward to many more. True, this may not be the most enjoyable game for those who are new to it, but in the vein of great old games, this is an absolute classic and one of those which will be greatly welcomed and revered by those who knew it then. I can't wait to play more and encounter a creature(s) I think were called "Gortunkleers" and to cast spells to make sealed doors swell with resistance, but then perhaps open...

Old school CRPG

Challenging without being annoying in the way that 80s/90s CRPGs often are. Inventory management is pretty good, level progression is snappy, puzzles are fun!
