World of Aden: Thunderscape

Starting the game...

Start menu

Tabula rasa -- building a new character from scratch.

Choose a race! Some of these are certainly new to me!

I like to have middle-of-the-road characters, not min-maxers.

The coup de grace!

Starting the game with what turns out to be our first NPC!

Fresh off the boat, faced with enemies! Select a target and examine your icon-options on the bottom.

What's this? (SPOILER) A hidden object directly beneath my starting location.

In a shop

Inventory management

Landing a blow.

The gory outcome!

Gaining a level!

Ooh, I get to learn spells!

These are more frightening than bugs

Operating the elevator

Oh boy, riddles! Easier to skip past with a walkthrough than mazes!
