The wizard Vartok has stolen a powerful artifact, and the Circle has gathered to summon a hero to retrieve it before he can unlock its secrets. The summoning fails, and they get you instead. Billed as a parody of Enchanter, but comes off more like an homage to it; contains a castle that's nearly identical in layout, although it's mostly empty. Lots of freedom in the early game, leading to straight linearity in the mid to end game. Extremely easy to waste resources you'll need later. Some bugs - after it sat on my hard drive for a while, I mysteriously became unable to buy certain items, even if I erased all my saves and started over. If this happens to you, I advise grabbing the source code and recompiling it yourself.
