Overview
Description

Abandoned Places: A Time for Heroes is a 1992 fantasy RPG where you control four heroes on a mission to stop the evil arch‑mage Bronagh and save the world of Kalynthia. The game blends a 2D top‑down overworld with 3D real‑time dungeon crawling reminiscent of Dungeon Master, offering a sandbox feel and plenty of side activities beyond the main quest. The interface lets you travel to towns by clicking symbols for services like healing or hints, while combat is point‑and‑click: select a weapon or spell, then click the monster, with cooldown timers after each use. This mix of exploration, party management, and real‑time action creates a deep, nostalgic adventure for solo players.

Unrest is a role‑playing adventure that immerses you in a fantasy interpretation of ancient India. You play ordinary people navigating a world of danger, politics, and personal struggle, using conversation, manipulation, and occasional violence to survive. The game adapts to death, failure, and every decision you make, offering a deep, branching story that reflects the consequences of your actions. Its indie spirit and historical fantasy setting create a unique experience for players who love narrative depth over combat‑centric gameplay.
