About this game

Inherit the Earth: Quest for the Orb is a point-and-click adventure game set in a future where humans are extinct and talking, human-like animals populate the Earth.

You play as Rif of the fox tribe, who must rescue his girlfriend Rhene and prove his innocence after being accused of stealing the magical Orb of Storms—a powerful artifact said to predict the weather.

The game was the first title to use The Dreamers Guild's SAGA engine and combines exploration, puzzles, and adventure gameplay.
