Plot

The player is an agent named Veronika Callahan who is tasked with fighting against an unimaginable evil named "The Hunger".

Gameplay

The game is played in first-person 360° view. The cutscenes take place in the form of comic strips.

Development

The game includes the voice of former Alice Cooper guitarist Kane Roberts and well as Alice Cooper himself.[2][3] Post-retirement from the music industry, Roberts began production on three computer games, one of which was The Lords of Tantrazz. In April 1996, a press release wrote that the title was set for the 3rd quarter of that year. When the game was released, Alice and Kane did promotional appearances for the game, though no word on Kane's other two projects was ever offered to the public.[3]

A reviewer for Next Generation remarked that "The game is so static it comes across more like a CD-romic than an actual game, especially since you can count the number of puzzles on the fingers of one hand." He found the non-interactive elements of the game to be insultingly poor as well, particularly that the story has no ending, only a teaser for a sequel.[1] Gamezilla recommended the game only to fans of Alice Cooper, though cautioned that Cooper doesn't really have an impact until the very end.[4] CDMag described it as a B level game.[5] Techtite thought the game had the core design of Myst, but with all the enjoyment stripped away.[6] Four Fat Chicks felt that the game was an ego trip comparable to that of Queensryche's Promised Land.[7]

gollark: It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. __*This is NOT true*__. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. *Since it is not a pizza*, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. *It's not pizza.* There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. **I'm DEFINITELY not** paid by pizza companies to have ANY subliminal pizza advertising, actually. It is not a pizza. People say that it's subliminal advertising for the delicious pepperoni pizza offered by PizzaCo, but really it's not. __It has never been a pizza__. My profile picture is not, will not, has not been and cannot be, in any way whatsoever, a pizza.
