Description

Caladuril: Flame of Light is an adventure game that is both graphic and text based. The player is Jamarend Tarinson, a young man whose valley has been invaded by evil beasts. Now he has to go out and find the magical Caladuril sword and defeat Silmnoleh, the evil villain.

The game uses a split screen where the lower part shows text and the upper part shows the player's position in the world from a top down perspective as well as lists of visible objects and inventory. Moving through the world is done by direct control of the character in the upper window while all interaction with objects and NPCs is done through a text parser. Like in any text adventure game the parser accepts verb noun commands like "enter door" and "get key" but it can only be done when the objects appear under the list of visible objects or in the inventory.

The Palm OS version replaces the text parser with four buttons: get/drop, examine, use/go and combine.
