The land of Kakhabad is a wilderness - a ruined desert, a tangled forest, cruel mountains and fissures, all guarded by seven fearsome serpents. But you must cross this land if you are to reach Mampang and the Crown of Kings. Rely on your wits or fight your way through - play with honour, or lie, cheat and steal - the choices are all yours.

From the creators of TIME's Game of the Year 2014, "80 Days", comes the third instalment in the acclaimed Steve Jackson's Sorcery! series. An interactive story told through thousands of choices, all of which are remembered, where no two adventures are the same.

Adapted and expanded from the million-selling gamebook series by legendary game designer Steve Jackson, co-founder of Lionhead Studios (with Peter Molyneux) and co-creator of Fighting Fantasy and Games Workshop (with Ian Livingstone).

Using inkle's unique inklewriter technology, the story is written in real-time, built around your choices and actions.

Ratings and reviews

It is an impressive game with complex mechanics. The complexity is not just the input and output of the program, but the conceptual ideas as well. The game is truly impressive because I love how the developers bring forth the ideas of Steve Jackson and turn it into a digital game, which requires thought in improving and preserving the essence of the original story. For people, look up developers of the game and other games. You'll appreciate it more.

This was my favorite installment of the original 1980s gamebook dead tree version of this, and they almost completely remixed and rewrote it into something new with this time beacon plot. I should have hated it, but it's an improvement in almost every way. The classic Seven Serpents are still there, and even the grimy Dark Elves are there, almost completely unchanged. Add in that the combat system is better (duh, it's a video game, as fun as rolling dice can be) and so is the magic system... A++

I absolutely love this game for the past year I have played them all non-stop trying to find every possible situation!!! I recently got a galaxy s7 active and now when ever I try to play the display is warped as if it needs to be played on a larger phone. It cuts off part of the game on the right and bottom sides of my phone keeping me from reading the story. I love this game and I'd love to keep playing it!!! Please fix this!!!
