* Different types of non-item objects: signposts, traps, fountains, plants, levers, caches.
* 12 unique classes, every of them has its own set of skills and spells, besides the common skills and spells. The significant part of them are accessible only after gaining a particular level.
* There are some spells, effects of which can vary depending on caster's power (mostly his intelligence).
* Monsters have almost the same set of attributes that the main character, they can use weapons and other items.
* There are some new made-up monster types (although it can be even disadvantage for someone).
* One the same monster type can be of different professions.
* Monsters, especially experienced, can have large variety of skills and spells, depending on their races and classes, which they use.
* Skills: real raising, without manual raising.
* Large variety of temporary monster effects. Miscellaneous buffs, weaknesses, diseases, venoms, curses etc...
* Communication, although primitive now. Random quests with different difficulty degrees, in the addition of the plot with several branches.
* AI: not bad base, though half-inactive. Complex behavior of monsters is planned for the future, after version 0.1 gains more stability. In general, most of monsters don't care who are standing before them - the player character or any other enemy or friend.
* Missiles (and some spell effects) are flying in the real-time. Some classes have ability to gain amazing speed and overrun them.
* Not bad (imho) interface. Flexible settings of quick movements, autorunning along the long plains roads.
* Program performance: it was formerly planned to work almost with 16 Mb RAM. It is not quite important now, but it allows to ignore high performance peaks and it allows to use the reserve performance in the future: e.g., make a global invasion of giant humanlike robots.
* Internationalization support: full Russian and English versions.
