Al-Qadim: The Genie's Curse vs The Age of Decadence

Set in the exotic Al-Qadim world, you play the youngest son of a noble merchant, seeking fame, fortune, and the hand of the Caliph's daughter. Guided by the Master Corsair Sinbar, you explore hidden isles, battle sea serpents, and master unique combat moves. The game features a slant-overhead view, improved engine, and AD&D 2nd Edition rules, delivering a blend of role‑playing depth and semi‑arcade swordplay for a single‑player experience on Linux, PC, and Mac.
