Setting

The game is set in a post-apocalyptic environment. Society consists of two races: Tuner; who possess psy-powers and Protozorqs; who are physical mutants.

Raven, a Tuner, is caught prisoner in the temple of the Protozorqs, and must find his girlfriend, who was also kidnapped, to finally proceed to escape with her. Raven is aware that his quest won't be simple since the Protozorqs, armed with "zapsticks", will gladly kill him if he does anything they dislike.

Technical characteristics
A dialog of choices (Amiga)

The game featured a unique point-and-click interface with 2D screens where the main character was not visible; objects and characters displayed contextual menus when clicked on.

Versions of the game released for different platforms:

  • The Amiga version has OCS graphics, digitized sound effects, and a distinctive opening tune, which is sampled here.
  • The MS-DOS version, has either 16-color EGA or Tandy-compatible graphics, 4-color CGA graphics, or 2-color Hercules graphics. Sound effects were PC speaker beeps or Tandy 3-voice music with a continuous background music loop during the game.

Reception

Computer Gaming World called the game "an imaginative adventure game" with unusually good graphics and audio. It recommended the game to fans of adventures with puzzles, with the story's short length and abrupt ending the main faults.[1]

gollark: I am not accepting feedback on this at this time. Goodbye.
gollark: You're clearly wrong due to the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, various gollariosity axioms, and a trivial proof by contradiction by meanness.
gollark: None of those actually exist, see.
gollark: Clearly false.
gollark: That doesn't exist.
