Whether this system actually enhances gameplay is highly debatable. The design team has developed a "State of Mind System" to enable the player as well as over 50 characters to change mind, mood, and mayhem based on preceding events. A breakthrough technology called Trulight allows cinematic illumination of each scene for a fuller, fourth dimensional picture. The CD-ROM version boasts an additional soundtrack that is not available in the Floppy Disk version.Īll the animations in this game are first pencil tested, then painted on screen. The game is released in both Floppy Disk and CD-ROM versions.
The game runs in either DOS or Windows 3.1, though I have no problem running it under Windows 95. The weakest aspect of the production is the voice acting and dialog. Although the game engine is technologically simple, it is effective at presenting Kyrandia, the people, and the puzzles. There is a small inventory at the bottom of the screen, along with some game controls. It uses third person perspective or animated characters on a cartoon background. The Legend of Kyrandia, Book Two: The Hand of Fate uses the same game engine and interface as the The Legend of Kyrandia: Fables & Fiends. There you must correct the Wheels for Kyrandia and finally defeat the evil mastermind behind the whole plot. This then leads you up to the highest mountain tops and across a rainbow bridge to the Wheels of Fate. Once you are at the center, you discover the real truth to your quest. This involves traveling through Kyrandia and another island to look for passage. Your first task is to get to Volcania, an island from which you can descend to the middle of the world.
When you find your lab ransacked, it is quickly apparent somebody is working against you. Zanthia is chosen by the council to fetch the stone. A strange creature, namely a giant hand, claims that the solution is the anchor stone at the center of the world. You play Zanthia, an alchemist on the council. The Mystics Council holds a meeting to discuss the problem. There is trouble in Kyrandia when parts of the kingdom start disappearing. One notable highlight of this game is the fact that you play a woman. This sequel, however, features a much stronger story and a few more difficult puzzles than its predecessor. It uses the same design as the first game of the series.
The Legend of Kyrandia, Book Two: The Hand of Fate is the second book in the Legend of Kyrandia series.
