Stargazer

Author:Jonathan Fry
Genre:Fantasy
Released:1996
Review:

Written as a prologue to a larger game, this piece concerns a boy who lives a life of drudgery in a magical underground city until he takes on a quest to save it from destruction. The whole game is spent kitting him out for the journey; the moment you actually embark, the game ends. Competently put together, but I'd still rather have a complete story.

Rating: ****
