Quest for Yrolg

A medium-length adventure game with a twist! Deep within his dungeon, Yrolg the necromancer is about to summon a mighty demon to complete his plans to conquer the World. Three brave adventurers, a warrior, a rogue and a sorcerer, have come to his underground lair to disrupt the ritual and end his reign of terror. Your job is to stop them.



As a lesser minion of darkness, use your wit and guile to lead the heroes into traps and to a nasty demise. Should they succeed, your Master will be slain, and the world shall be covered with flowers and puppy dogs. That must never happen - evil shall prevail!

Download here. This includes a Voice Pack, and translations into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Hungarian, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, and Turkish.

Sounds really interesting a-tale-of--two-kingdoms kind game handling evil!

Downloading right now the Non-MAGS evil game

PD: When I said "atotk kind game" I said in quality!!

PDD: And after played a while, Well, What a game!! The simplistic interactivity and the no-graphic dialog isn't too good at all, but seems a great game!

I hope to can play it soon, i have a lot of work u_u

Spoiler

Edit: Playing again... I don't find how to banish the first adventurer! It's seems a very quite changelling game!

So cool how Crystal shard keeps releasing one quality game after another. Although they are usually so brilliant that I need a walkthrough all the way.

Quest for Yrolg, hahaha. I am downloading and playing this NOW, and I won't find rest until I have solved every tseuq there is.

edit: Oh no, Yrolg has been defeated while I was toying around! I like the imp very much, his comments exactly reflect what I would expect to be an imp's point of view on things. One first thing I disliked: The music. It is so heroic and over-present and thus distracting and it even loops awkwardly and you can't even turn it off, so I had to turn off my speakers which always makes me sad.

I'll give the rescue of Yrolg another shot, though.

Downloading now and will play in a little bit.

Congratulations at creating:

An adventure game that managed to make me stop playing Thief Gold for several hours in a row,
An adventure game whose gameplay is different from the usual traditionnal point and click adventure game,
An adventure game I wish there will have a sequel for it.

Bugs, visual glitches and feedback:

Spoiler

If you keep summoning Muggit (who was hilarious, BTW) back and forth, he'll move a pixel closer to the edge of the screen, do this several times and he'll eventually completly disappear behind the edge of the screen.

The animation sequence when you shoot the fighter with the spears trap is rather shoddy and unsynchronized: the spears are shot, then the fighter goes in the middle of the screen and die.

The save/load menu has no scroll bars, and since the game rely heavily on loading and saving, constantly losing previous savegames and being able to work with only 6 savegames (3 of which are hogged by the autosaves) really sucks.

A clock to tell the time remaining until the next hero arrives would be a nice addition. That or simply letting the player decide when to summon the next hero.

Thanks for the feedback, blueskirt!
The glitches should be fixed in a week when Radiant gets back. Muggit's options should be still accessible by pressing esc.

You shouldn't need to save too often, just once before you set everything for each hero (that is, after the death of each hero), and then once just before each hero comes along (this is autosaved). It's five+ minutes before each hero shows up (though I believe Radiant made this longer), and it doesn't actually take that long to put everything in the right place - most of the time spent will be thinking about how to do this rather than actually doing it. Once you've set up everything, you can ask Muggit to send in the next hero so you don't have to wait. The clock is a good idea though.

Is there a reason why this is now called "---" in the games DB?

Radiant has taken certain matters into his own hands on this one, but we're going to try & resolve it. A bit like the BBC trying to resolve the Germany - Turkey game, some things just take a little while!

Edit: But it probably won't be coming back to the Games page now.

[blueskirt]

Wow! What's going on? Has Quest for Yrolg become a collector?

[LimpingFish]

Unfortunately, for reasons beyond the control of the AGS Ratings Panel, Quest for Yrolg will not be featuring in the AGS games database until further notice.

The game is still available for download from the developers website.

No, not really. Perhaps we should talk on MSN some time, it's easier than PM'ing.

Based on the comments in this thread and the H&T forum, I've uploaded a new version of Quest for Yrolg.
(a) This fixes the bugs people mentioned about the first release.
(b) There's now a timer, as suggested above.
(c) Several hints have been added to make the game more accessible.
(d) The music track has been expanded to over twice its original length.

You should not run the game from the ZIP file, but extract it first.

[SuperDre]

Look great, looking forward to playing it when I have the time... thanx for another great game..

[DazJ]

Absoloutely beautiful. The graphics for a start are out of this world and fit the style of the game magnificantly.

I adore the humor too - that Murray-esque red cup

[Radiant]

We're looking for voice actors! Several of the voices have been done already, but there's room for a few extra people. Please post in this thread if you're interested.

[DazJ]

I'm DEFINATELY interested. Send me a PM

[not with a bang.]

If you're still looking, I've got a nice condenser mic... and I don't really sound like Christopher Walken...
