Sadim Castle

Having been foully murdered by her husband, the Lady Leonara has cursed the castle and all who set foot within it. It was my task to find her mortal remains and lay them to rest in peace.

The present ghastly inhabitants didn't seem impressed by my chivalry, however, and did their damndest to kill me. A few kindly souls did assist me, if I first solved their problems, so it does help to be polite!

The game is a coloured text, split-screen affair with lots of well-written descriptions.

Sadim Castle

The castle abounds with locked doors which require an endless supply of keys. Opening doors becomes such a confusing business that I found I spend an hour trying to unlock one which I later found wasn't even locked!

Not so easy is the solution to the wandering monster that follows you. Unfortunately, he continues to reappear with monotonous regularity causing you to repeat the same action ad-infinitum.

The game however has a nice 'feel' to it and is not too difficult.
