About this game

Jewels of the Oracle is a puzzle game built around 24 independent challenges rather than a traditional story. Each puzzle can be tackled in Easy or Hard mode when available, with the Oracle offering clues along the way.

The game takes place around a hexagonal layout centered on the Oracle’s well. Three doors lead to puzzle rooms, where solving a challenge earns a jewel that must be returned to the well. The puzzles use Egyptian and Mesopotamian visual styles, while background music provides atmosphere and can be turned off.

Released on October 18, 1996, the game was developed by ELOI Productions and published by Sun Corporation for Mac, PC (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation, and Sega Saturn.
