Incentive's early action/adventure already showcases the robust 3D engine (named Freescape) that is revolutionary for its time (and pushed the capabilities of any machine it was released on to the limit).
As either the prince or princess, your job is to explore a mysterious castle in search of your kidnapped twin, who is trapped in the tower by the Castle Master and guarded by the Guardian Spirits. The adventuring portion is a marked improvement over Total Eclipse in that the rooms are now recognizably different from one another, and puzzles more diverse and precise (finding keys to doors and secret tunnels are still the mainstay, however).
Overall, a solid action/adventure that offers many hours of fun, although the control scheme is awkward and graphics still difficult to make out.

I LOVE this game. I actually legit played through it when I was a teenager. Very slowly, probably took me months but I finally finished it without any guides or anything, so it is possible. I seem to recall you had to find a bunch of gems and they were hidden around pretty well sometimes.

SUEJ They did a lot more back then with games, not like now where today's developers focus more on revenue and filling up our storage space with useless trash lmao
OMG! What and awesome game!! So, so many hours spend on this in my 286, playing from a 5.25'' floppy, with a Monochromatic Hercules monitor *_* Nostalgia is kicking in, the black&orange monitor was crap, but the game was awesome!!!
