Enlightenment

Author:Taro Ogawa
Genres:Fantasy>Cave crawl
Fantasy>Zorkian
Released:1998
Review:

A real adventurer never passes up a magical light source with unlimited power, but when darkness is desirable, all those extra photon producers can become seemingly-insurmountable obstacles. A fun one-room Zorkian game with difficult but solvable tinkering puzzles. Features adaptive hints.

Rating: ****
