Arcana

In Arcana, only two and a half hours of Twilight remain before Shedding Moon Eve, when the clasp on the Dark Clavicle will open and give the evil King Valarequil the power to rule Estarion.

You play as Baludar, entering the King’s castle to find seven talismans and create a ring capable of destroying the book. Explore four scrolling levels, search for useful items, collect keys to open doors, and avoid or shoot the creatures roaming the castle with your unlimited supply of bolts.

Being touched or hit reduces your Life Force; when it reaches zero, the game ends.
