Technical: The sound and graphics are what you expect from the time period this game was released. The music is not bad, but sort of sounds like it was composed on an old casio keyboard. The sound is unremarkable, but not annoying. The voice acting was either done by community theater or by the developers. It is not remarkable. There are two points in the game where one character gets really irritating, and you unfortunately must deal with it for several minutes. The graphics show some semblance of depth, but they are heavily pixillated. Again, this was the early 90's.

Depth: The story starts out a bit cliche, but actually develops a twist halfway through. Also, despite the fact that the player character has the option to assert their authority in everyone's face, he is encouraged not to do so, and is generally rewarded for humility and ingenuity.

Gameplay: The controls are point and click, so it is almost impossible to mess up. One complaint is that items are often difficult to see and require a lot of cursor foraging.

Verdict: This is an OK adventure that you can probably finish in a few days if you are familiar with point and click adventures. The game is forgiving and does not force you to restart far off if you die. You can pretty much save whenever you want.

Note: You can pick this game for free on gog.com. This is a totally legal and well known site that is owned by the developer of The Witcher.
