This text only adventure was produced by Quill and as such I feel that in today's climate of falling software prices, it is a little overpriced.

You are the apprentice of Zaranol, a mighty sorcerer and while he's away at a convention, you summon up a demon, who curses you. Your objective is to remove the curse and banish the demon. You have a friend called Lan to help with your quest. Although I discovered that during really sticky patches, when I called for Lan, he appeared, laughed at me, and disappeared. With friends like that, who needs demons?

On my first attempt, I managed to score a measly 12% before having my neck chewed by a vampire bat. Caught in the catacombs, as usual.

All the adventure features are present plus a SAVE option, which is most helpful for those without vast tracts of time to devote in one go.

On the whole, it's quite a subtle puzzle which should appeal to adventure purists. However, appeal to other users might be limited by lack of graphics and innovation.
