The Bard's Tale: Tales of the Unknown takes you to the frozen city of Skara Brae, trapped under an eternal winter cast by the evil wizard Mangar. You assemble a party of up to six adventurers to explore the town, descend into dangerous dungeons and ultimately confront the dark threat. From a first-person view you navigate maze-like environments, engage in turn-based battles and develop characters with distinct classes and abilities. The bard stands out with magical songs that enhance the party and are essential for solving certain puzzles. The result is a classic fantasy role-playing experience blending exploration, strategy and character progression.
