Nice art, awkward writing. Still fun. Really impressed at all the background art and details put into this game. Unfortunately that sometimes breaks the immersion and make puzzles awkward. Like, why I can't I take (useful thing that's right there)? Instead I have to take just that one specific thing, with lots of pixel hunting, because (convoluted adventure game logic). They did a nice job having both the tower and town feel alive, with tons of different people. Unfortunately that means it's often difficult to distinguish or care about different characters. EG, none of the main mage masters show up as normal people you can talk to.

About This Game
D'arc's moment of reckoning arrives and his Masters put him to the test. The young Initiate is tasked with retrieving three items, which will test his magical and mental strength to full capacity:
A lock of hair from a powerful Enchantress.
The unspoiled shell of Griffon's egg.
The three-pronged horn of the legendary Trinicorn.
Join D'arc on a perilous journey across the medieval-styled land of Iginor. Brave the perilous Bloodbark forest where the Redcap goblins stalk. Trek across a barren desert wasteland rife with lawless Bandits and fierce Burrowers. Navigate over a vast lake where evil masquerades as beauty. And ascend beyond the lofty mountain peaks where the mysterious and hostile Flyterians dwell, suspicious of all outsiders. It is time for D'arc to prove himself.
Three quests. One chance. Will D'arc succeed and take his place among his fellow Mages?
