Story
Evil magic from the Underworld is affecting the animals above. Many have begun attacking humans! A hero is needed to go to the Underworld, but first they must pass the gatekeeper, a guardian who demands quests of our hero.
Gameplay
- The player's strategic options and surroundings are visible on one screen. Players try to complete quests and pass the gatekeeper, or are slain.
- Each turn, the player can move in one of the 8 cardinal directions. They can also rest, and drop, pick up, or use items.
- Only 1 of each type of item (weapon, armor, tool, scroll, action) can be held at once.
- Every action causes the level meter to fill. If the user does not win in a certain amount of time, they will be attacked by more and more creatures and finally a blue god.
- High scores are achieved by interacting with a volume and variety of beasts and items, and by exploring as much of the world as possible before passing by the gatekeeper.
