Oynanış
The game takes place in Tibet. The player named Mac Steele is an archaeologist, who tries to find a valuable diamond called “The Serpent’s Star”. He needs 13 scrolls, which provide advice to the diamond’s hideout in the town of Kara-Koram. Therefore, Mac Steele has to travel through Tibet, to solve a lot of puzzles and to meet other non-player characters, e.g. Buddhist monks.
The single-player adventure is controlled via typed keyboard commands. Words and simple sentences are entered in a text parser.
