Dragonsphere

Dragonsphere is a graphic adventure set in Gran Callahach, where the newly crowned King Callash must confront the sorcerer Sanwe. Twenty years earlier, the court wizard Ner-Tom imprisoned Sanwe with the Dragonsphere spell, but the spell’s energy has now run out.

Inspired by the classic third-person LucasArts and Sierra adventure style, the game uses ten verb commands to interact with objects and characters. Objects also support specific commands, creating numerous possible combinations and solutions.

The adventure features inventory-based puzzles, extensive text responses, branching dialogue, and choices that can have fatal consequences. Its presentation includes hand-painted backgrounds and digitized animation.
