Description from the packaging.

Morph at will.

Each of your six metaforms (feline, floating eye, gremlin, frogman, flame lizard and terramental) unleashes new powers and reveals new weaknesses. Fascinating shapeshifting technology morphs you from human to metaform and back before your eyes.

Replay the adventure in a number of different ways, based on the morphform you select at any given time.

The pace never falters.

Fly, swim and run indoors and out, through dungeons, caverns, castles, mines, volcanoes and underwater caves.

Shadowcaster allows you to master the basics quickly and immediately immerse yourself in the action.

Concentrate on combat and puzzles- no mapping, resting, eating or spell memorization, and very little text, so the action keeps surging forward at breakneck speed.

Astounding sights and sounds.

Realistic realms feature the most outstanding 3-D art animations and texture maps in any point-of-view game.

Digitized sound effects and a dynamic sound track surround you with sensations so real that you can almost reach out and touch them.

Optional mega-view covers 75% of the screen.
