A Tale of Two Kingdoms - Promising Indy Game

There looks to be a promising new indy game that was recently released by the the fine people over at Crystal Shard, and the name of that game according to Adventure Gamers is A Tale of Two Kingdoms. If you like the old Sierra style, point and click adventures with a little bit of the feeling of an old Eye of the Beholder type game, then this little number will be the perfect game for a guy or gal like yourself.

Here’s the “features” that come with the 95 mb download, which you can grab from here:

It is a full-length game with an atmosphere of fairy tales, magic, and intrigue.

Featuring five different endings; several sidequests and alternate solutions; teamwork with non-player characters; 75 minutes of high quality music; and director’s commentary.

And the story sounds pretty cool, too. Check it:

The ancient kingdom of Theylinn is beset by enemies both from within and without. Within the castle walls, nobles vie for the old King’s favor, and not everybody is happy with the sole heir to the throne, princess Rhiannon.

Meanwhile, danger approaches, in the form of an invading army, a hostile giant, and a mercenary troop who are ancient enemies of the Theylann king.

And there is mystery yet. For hidden within the borders of Theylinn lies a second kingdom, named Thierna na Oge, where the faeries reign. Little is known about this shrouded, exotic realm.

That is some sweet assed hair.

This is definitely a game I’ll try when I’m having a not so fulfilling weekend and need something to liven it up.
