An old game in the genre of shadow fantasy about what would have happened if the creature from the foothills had remained alive. He fell into a volcano, but before his death he managed to put a magic ring on his finger. The ring sensed its doom and transported her to a great cave far to the east. In the prison of an ancient god, an associate of the dark lord. It took too much force and broke the ring into 15 pieces, and now he has to put them back together and rebuild the ring.

About This Game

Each shard collected gives the essence a new ability. In the game there are fragments of fire, stench, dirt, time, thunder. Each shard gives the creature a unique ability and helps it move forward, learn about the world, and influence its enemies. A creature can die of hunger, cold, or drowning. In order not to freeze, the player will need to look for heat sources from time to time. You can build different types of buildings with different materials, walls, bridges, traps, towers and ingredients to build them. Traps and walls are needed to repel the attacks of scary creatures. The ring survived, which meant that the Dark Lord survived, even though he was incorporeal.

His darkness will drive his subjects to the ancient god’s abode to take the shards from the creatures. Each shard has its own cave, thematic shards lie in a different order, which forces the player to be inventive. All caves are different, with different enemies, vegetation and lighting. Central Cave, Cave Swamps, Great Underground Lake, Goblin Cave and others. The game also has a bonus element. There are 9 masks hidden in the caves. Each mask gives a permanent effect. For example, a fireman’s mask protects against fire, a diver’s mask allows you to breathe underwater, a demon’s mask destroys enemies, and so on.
