1265 -1 2000-05-19 09:47:57 <em>Category:</em> Role Playing<br> <em>Description:</em> Eldritch Dreams is an RPG designed after the DOS games Wizardry and Realms of Arkania. Combat is overhead, strategic, and untimed. This program is a game, continuously in development (of course). Most of the engine is in place at this point, but many of the other necessary things are partially or NOT done. Because of this, you may notice that at some points, game maps simply end, leaving a gaping hole in the scenery, or things which may seem like they may potentially be plot lines may lead nowhere (not to say this game will ever have a single unified plot :)) Eldritch Dreams 0.4 new
