You are dropped in Ancardia's Drakalor Chain. Something horrible has happened in some deep deep corner underneath the earth and world is descending into chaos. Being a true hero (or villain), It's your destiny to figure out what happened and affect the fate of the world. If you don't have experience in old gaming (90s and earlier) and decide to jump into this adventure be warned: this game is OLD and really janky in our present world of gaming. As such there are a lot of things that will result annoying or cumbersome at a first glance, but be patient it will be worth your while. The game CAN be played with mouse, but really you want to learn to play it with the keyboard. It will take some getting used to it, but consult the in-game manual regulary and eventually you will come to feel this kind of experience has a certain charm to it. The game won't hold your hand, it's full of cryptic clues and hidden knowledge. You will die. You will die a lot. But if you persist and learn from your mistakes, you will get further and further until one day (maybe years from the first time you picked up the game) you will beat it and it will be sweet. Knowledge is your best weapon in this game. If you feel lost, there are a lot of guides out there that can help you. Also, last but not least, the art is great, both visuals and audio.
