A new threat arises from the oceans, 40 years after the Martian Invasion of 1999. Unbelievably ancient, it unleashes a new terror upon the world to the tune of some fitting spooky music that fits it so very well.

Lots of trial & error is needed here. A lot of the puzzle solutions aren't obvious. Fun to be had in there though! 😄👍🕹️

Known as one of the first D&D-style CRPG's (the first of it's kind with colour graphics), and the first party-based RPG. It greatly influenced all RPG's that followed it.
