Welcome, wanderers!

Welcome to "The Pearl of Light", a "Lord of the Rings - The Rings of Power" fan-game (made only for fun - non official).

Made with AI.

A "Sims" - like, inspired by "Disney Dreamlight Valley", in Middle-Earth. It takes place in the very beginning of Season 2 of the TV show "The Lord of the Rings - The Rings of Power".

Meet your favourite characters, increase friendships (and more!), find resources and improve your home !

Will you succeed in preventing Morgoth's return with the help of your new friends?..

INSTRUCTIONS :

From left to right of the interface:

- Name of the element you are hovering over with your mouse. Click on it to interact with it, or use an object with it.

- Tool buttons (you'll need to unlock them as the game progresses): Click on a tool, then on the screen element you want to use it with.

- Inventory buttons: click to open inventories. They are sorted by type. You can collect items by clicking on them on the screen. You'll need tools or containers (bag, pot or bottle) to collect items.

- Arrows : Click on the visible arrows to walk to another place. To change region, click on the center button to access the map. On the map, you can choose another region to travel to, or close the map by cliking the button at the right-bottom corner.

- Your name and portrait. What you say during the game will appear at the top of your portrait.

You can use an item on yourself (for example, to eat food) by choosing an item from the inventory, then clicking with it on your portrait.

- Your energy level (don't forget to rest, eat and drink, or you'll die and lose the game!) and money (you'll earn money by selling items and completing some quests).

- The name of the person in front of you, and the level of relationship you have with them. Raise the relationship level to become friends!

- Talk button: click to talk to the person in front of you, and choose from the dialogue options what you want to say.

- Quest button: click to ask the person for a quest, or to talk about a quest in progress.

- Save, load and stop the game

When you're home, you can :

- Enter your house by clicking on the door

- Click on your bed to rest, or improve your home in exchange for money.

- Click on the kitchen (or the fireplace) to cook. You can click on "recipes" to look at the recipes you got. You can unlock new recipes by doing quests for people, or find them yourself by cooking with the ingredients you have.

- Click on the crafting workshop to craft objects. You can click on "instructions" to look at the instructions you got. You can unlock new instructions by doing quests for people, or find them yourself by crafting with the items you have.

The last post I remember from you was you stopping making games.
I'm happy to see you didn't, and found a new way to make your games

Thank you! I just needed a new passion! ♥

First: There's been some technical problems with adding new games lately. This one ended up being added three times. AGA's looking into it. Meanwhile, I've disabled two of the entries, keeping the one with the Deviant art link.

Secondly: Like Rik said, congratulations on the release, and I'm really happy that you're still making games. I haven't watched the tv series, but will try the game anyway.

This looks great. Always been a LOTR fan. I remember playing the 'The Dark Crystal' game you made a long time ago when I was making games. Another movie I really loved. I will check this out soon. Congrats on the release.

Thanks for the link! Watched the video review. It's not bad. I'll test it at my leisure.

Probably a dumb question, but how does one extract these game files ending in .001 and .002? Is there some kind of .ZIP joiner program to combine the two to then extract? I use 7ZIP myself and I am at a loss haha

If I recall correctly, I just extracted the .001 file, then it went on automatically to .002 (which was in the same folder). I believe I used 7zip as well.
