IMPORTANT, READ CAREFULLY!
Now you can become the famed adventurer Ragnar and bravely seek out all-new original adventures in this exciting game.
Delve into the mysteries of the caves and discover what lies in waiting below. Ready your sword: you will investigate sprawling, far-reaching webs of intrigues and unmask the cunning evildoer who stands in your way.
