The game takes place in a fictional world where magic fights technology, the rich exploit the poor, and adventurers hunt monsters. The main character is a stranger from distant lands who arrives in the city of Newark in search of a better life and finds himself drawn into a conflict on which the fate of the whole world depends.
Features include the ability to create your own character by choosing one of four races (humans, elves, gnomes and giants), a leveling system that turns the hero into a real magician or engineer, as well as many abilities, spells, recipes and consumable items that make battles more interesting and varied.
