Game Play: This is a point and click
game converted to PC from the classic Amiga game. There are the Restart,
Load Game and Save Game on the middle bar. The game manipulation is
based on clicking one of the 3 verb icons at the middle bar and any
item in the game play while facing it. The verbs are eye – look, hand
– take and the hand with a tool – operate. When an item is taken and
selected in inventory, a separate verb selections is shown. Look,
drop, insert, consume and explore mode (to go back to main game play).
Infinity walks one square tile at a time and runs when the right mouse
is pressed (pant, pant!).

Before the War

The Kingdom of Valhalla is currently ruled
by the Great King Garamond, a natural leader, strong and fair-minded,
who is cherished by the people of the land. Garamond is happily married
and has a 2 year old son called the little Prince of Valhalla, who
stands next in line for the throne as stated by Valhalla law. All
was well within the kingdom, except for an apparent jealousy harbored
by the Lord of Infinity, who is Garamond’s younger brother. Infinity,
confused and often misunderstood, always believed he should have been
king instead of his brother. The Bishop of Valhalla approached King
Garamond with rumors that Infinity was plotting to kill him. And that
he had overheard Infinity chanting “You are not my brother, you are
an obstacle to my destiny and so you will die”. Garamond could
not ignore this threat, which would have normally resulted in execution.
But as Infinity is his own flesh and blood, he ordered Infinity to
be imprisoned within the Servants Hall under the watchful eyes of
his trusted sorcerer. So whilst Valhalla sleeps, Infinity begins his
quest of hatred, in which murder is the ultimate goal.

Episode 5 – The
Servants Hall

In the Servants hall, you will find yourself
immersed in the magical history of the great castle. For here lie
the tombs of court wizards from ages past. Each one possessing his
own puzzling story, which you must unravel if you are ever to escape.
But there is one wizard who reigns still and it is he, which poses
the greatest challenge. Can you overcome the obstacles, he has strewn
in your path? First you must learn the secrets of his power and recreate
his magic so you may turn it against him. Only the wizard, Greylim
stands between you and your escape from imprisonment in the Servant’s
Hall.
