The game is a modern take on the MUD (Multi User Dungeon) text games popular in the early days of the Internet. Play unfolds on a map, while dialogue runs through AI-assisted messengers brought to life with multimedia of high artistic value.
The story is set in the early Middle Ages in the land of the Vistulans. You will meet legendary figures such as Prince Krak, Princess Wanda and even the Wawel Dragon. The map grows from Lesser Poland to the whole Europe of the Migration Period: from Wandalia and Sarmatia to Gallia, Italia and the Pontus Euxinus.
