Gameplay Initially the playerchooses between playing as theprinceorprincess. The character not chosen is then taken away by adragonto Castle Eternity. (The location of keys and someother items differ slightly between the two characters.)
Thegame requires the player, through afirst personview, to explore Castle Eternity. There areriddles on many of the castle walls, which give gameplay hints. There are alsokeys and pentacles hidden in various locations for the player to collect. Manyrooms contain spirits which attack the player and reduce his or herhealth. Theplayer's health (represented by abarbellwhere weights indicate the amount) is also theplayer's strength which is important for some puzzles. The player's only weaponis an unlimited supply of rocks to throw, but a single hit is sufficient toexorcise most of the spirits. The ultimate goal is to kill thebossspirit Magister (who can only be killed when allother spirits in the castle are destroyed) and thereby rescue the character'sopposite number.There are nolivesfor the player; if health is reduced to nothing thegame is restarted from the beginning unless the player loads asaved game.Development
