Plot

edit

In the caves of Dun-Huang, a demon set a trap, so effective that it also trapped the workers who built the trap. It is the player's job to free them.

Gameplay

edit

The game plays similarly to Myst, another FMV adventure game, except this title has a narrator that guides the player through the narrative and puzzles.

Critical reception

edit

PC Game praised the game's atmosphere but disliked its illogical puzzles.[1] Just Adventure's Ray Ivey positively compared it to two other Dreamcatcher titles: Jewels of the Oracle and Jewels II: The Ultimate Challenge.[2] Philip Jong of Adventure Classic Gaming wrote that the game was released "quietly" with little fanfare.[3]
