Synopsis

Our hero must reach Melkhior, a somewhat eccentric sorcerer who is the only one who can save him. As with most Ultimate titles of the day, reaching it is a long and tricky challenge, involving both puzzle-solving and action, meaning each screen requires careful planning and precise navigation.

The game uses the isometric viewpoint in a similar way to the latest Head Over Heels, using monochrome but detailed graphics and techniques to avoid wobbly sprites. The game lasts 40 days and nights - at night your character turns into a werewolf. Ultimate's individual style of eschewing simple instructions in favor of feature lists and puzzles is put to good use here, with the story detailed in a rhyming poem of sorts.
