Avernum 4
A Fantasy Role-Playing Adventure for the Macintosh
Spiderweb Software, makers of the award-winning Avernum and Geneforge
series, announces the release of Avernum 4, the first all-new game in
the world of Avernum in years. This epic fantasy-roleplaying adventure
will return you to the enormous underworld nation of Avernum, whose
shadowy lands are once again facing horrible peril.
Avernum is a nation underground. Its pale people live in endless miles
of tunnels, pits, and gigantic caverns. Some come to Avernum to work
the mines. Others come to hunt monsters for their treasure. And some
risk life in the underworld because it is the only place where a person
can be free from the total rule of the Empire.
But life in Avernum just became a lot more dangerous. All at once,
everything has gone wrong. The savages and dark creatures of the lower
tunnels, once beaten into submission, have returned. Gigantic beasts,
****elded by powerful magic, have taken up residence in the cities,
wandering and killing at random. And normally peaceful citizens have
been afflicted by a strange, overwhelming paranoia, making even regular
townsfolk unpredictable and dangerous.
Nobody knows why these disasters have occurred. But you, through good
luck (or bad), have stumbled upon a clue. Thus, you begin a journey
that will take you through strange, war-torn lands, bandit cities, and
the darkest depths of the underworld. Your mission: discover who has
attacked your homeland and stop them. Before everything falls apart.
Avernum 4 is an enormous fantasy role-playing adventure. Wander a
gigantic world, full of multitudes of characters, hundreds of side
quests, and traps, tricks, and treasure in every corner. Experience the
life of an adventurer: the fame, the wealth, the hapless townsfolk
begging you for help at every turn! This epic tale is guaranteed to
give you weeks of entertainment, with an impossibly huge world that
dares you to uncover all of its secrets.
Prior experience with the Avernum series is completely unnecessary to
enjoy Avernum 4. Avernum 4 is $25, or $32 with a hint book. System
requirements: Macintosh with System 8.1 or later, 100 MB free RAM, 50
MB hard disk space, 1024x768 screen resolution with 16 bit color.
