Description Zork Nemesis: The Forbidden Lands
In the last days of the Great Underground Empire, four of the Empire's greatest alchemists disappeared into the Forbidden Lands on the day of the Solar Eclipse, supposedly in search of the secret of the Quintessence, the Eternal Life. An Imperial spy, Bivotar, was sent to locate them. He never returned. Now, the task has fallen to you.
You soon discover that the alchemists are dead, killed by a horrible demon known only as Nemesis. You manage to ruffle the Nemesis' feathers, and soon find yourself allied with the spirits of the dead Alchemists, trying to finish their work before the Nemesis can finish you off. But all is not as it seems, and as you unravel the secrets of the past through old letters and ghostly flashbacks, you begin to realize the full horror of the events that occurred under the Eclipse all those years ago.
Zork Nemesis: The Forbidden Lands is a Myst-style first-person adventure game that mixes logic puzzles with live-action FMV sequences that advance the story. The player views each location from a first-person perspective, and can rotate the camera 180 degrees to get a full view of their surroundings.
Like other Zork installments, the game contains humorous elements, but overall its story and atmosphere are darker, including images and themes such as decapitated heads and human sacrifice.
