computer. The player controls six characters which are supposed to save the realm they live in from an evil being which is slowly materialising into their dimension. The character races are rather unique in RPGs and include Bionecrons, Symbions and various cross-breeds.
The gameplay concerns juggling through the set of screens which are responsible for different parts of the game, such as exploring the dungeon and a world map, inventory management, spell creation (very sophisticated runic system), network connections (used also for conversation purposes) and battle mode (a bit archaic, turn-based system). Everything is controlled from a set of icons.
The game has beautifully drawn graphics which are created in grey and orange shades. The sound and music are conducted with huge attention to details, not forget mentioning its changes during the action on the screen.
