The Bard's Tale

Screenshots:

Background:
Based of the original Bard's Tale game, this is not a sequel to 1980's release. It is a completely new game, providing a truly innovative action-RPG experience with witty dialogue, strong sense of character personality, with stunning graphics and non-linear gameplay. Set in the Orkney islands of Scotland, you play the role of a bard, who "makes magic" by playing music.

Gameplay:
A truly non-linear game, the player chooses the Bard's responses towards other characters he encounters with either 'snarky' or 'nice' dialogue. Each choice changes the course of events in the game. The action takes place in medieval times in a land based on the Orkney Islands off the coast of Scotland – the inspiration for many of the classic fantasy stories.
